Oak Class will be learning about the changing role of the monarchy in our History lessons and considering how Kings and Queens have used their royal powers.  In Science, we will begin by thinking about how plants and animals are classified and grouped.  We will also learn how species have adapted to suit their environment.  Some of our reading texts in English will be loosely based on animals, starting with the classic text 'The Wind in the Willows', by Kenneth Grahame.

After half-term, we will learn about the work of Charles Darwin and Mary Anning.  We will find out more about Darwin's theories of evolution and Anning's discoveries and studies of fossils.  In Geography, our focus will move to volcanoes and other natural disasters, with a Geography study on Indonesia.  Our DT will be loosely linked to this theme, as we consider how to construct sturdy emergency shelters.
