Lent Term 2 Topic Overview

Victorian Revolution

Our Lent topic is ‘Victorian Revolution’. At the start of our project, we’ll look at a timeline of the main Victorian events. We’ll use non-fiction books to research The Royal family and people, including famous inventors and learn about significant inventions. We will use a range of sources (including paintings) to find out about the Victorians. We will also study the Victorian transport links and crime and punishment. Then, we’ll write non-chronological reports and biographies of significant people using a range of sources. In Art, we will study the work of William Morris and recreate his wonderful wallpaper patterns.

Lent Term Topic Overview

Blood Heart

Our Lent topic is ‘Blood Heart’. At the start of our project, we’ll look inside an animal heart, finding out about the different parts and how the blood flows. Afterwards, we’ll write a report of the experience and use models to learn more about how the circulatory system works. We’ll use a data logger to measure our heart rates and test how it is affected by exercise. We will learn about the components of blood and about the different blood groups.

In D&T, we’ll make model hearts. We’ll read literature inspired by the heart and circulatory system and write character descriptions/settings. In addition, we’ll write biographies about significant scientists e.g. William Harvey. We’ll learn about how smoking affects the heart, write adverts to persuade people to stop smoking and make a flow diagram to illustrate the circulation process.
