In Pavender Class we cover all subjects within the National Curriculum. We focus on the enjoyment of our learning as well as challenging ourselves in all subjects. Everyone works really hard to achieve their best in all areas of school life.  Our literacy work is often cross-curricular and makes links to work in science, geography and history. In maths we build on and develop skills learnt in previous years. We cover the four methods of calculation, then moving on to problem solving. In addition to this we study data handling, shape space and measure. We do our best to give children practical experiences in maths for example through cooking and measuring.

This term our topic is Prehistoric Britain

The story of prehistoric Britain began when the first humans arrived in Britain. It ended when the Romans conquered the ancient Britons and Britain became part of the Roman Empire.

The earliest humans were hunter-gatherers. They survived by hunting animals and finding food to eat. Then, very gradually people learned new skills. First they learned to herd animals and grow crops. Later they discovered the secrets of making bronze and iron.

Prehistoric people couldn't read or write, but they were astonishing builders. Their tombs, forts and monuments have survived for thousands of years.
