This term, we will be led by a History focus and be exploring and studying Ancient Greece and Greek myths, particularly Theseus and the Minotaur. At the end of term, we will create our own Greek Myth. In Maths, we will also move on to area and scaling and then hopefully calculating with decimal fractions. In Science, we will be exploring forces. We will investigate gravity acting between the Earth and a falling object and will also identify the effect of buoyant force and water resistance.
Our Big Ideas this term are DEMOCRACY and CIVILISATION. We will be asking broad questions, such as:
- How have the ideas of democracy influenced civilisations?
Inspirational People we will be looking at are:
- Aristotle- He is considered to be one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived and the first genuine scientist in history. He made pioneering contributions to all fields of philosophy and science, he invented the field of formal logic, and he identified the various scientific disciplines and explored their relationships to each other.
- Archimedes- He is considered to be the most famous mathematician and inventor in ancient Greece. Archimedes is especially important for his discovery of the relation between the surface and volume of a sphere and its circumscribing cylinder.
- Rick Riordan- He is an author who is well known for writing the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, about a teenager named Percy Jackson who discovers he is a son of the Greek god, Poseidon.
