Welcome to Snow Leopards!

This year, Snow Leopards will be led by Miss Wilson, with support from Mrs Roberts. We’re excited to see the wonderful learning, achievements, and memories that will unfold throughout our Upper Juniors journey together!

Exploring, Creating, Achieving

This term is filled with engaging learning experiences across all subjects.

English:
Children will explore Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo as part of our Legends of the British Isles topic. They will create their own legends and later move on to persuasive writing, learning to present clear and confident arguments.

History & Geography:
In History, we’ll examine how the Kingdom of England was formed, focusing on the Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, and the significant events of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. In Autumn 2, we’ll switch to Geography, where children will study the United Kingdom—its landscapes, people, and regions.

Science & Art:
In Science, pupils will investigate the properties of materials through practical experiments. In Art, they will explore printmaking and develop new creative techniques.

PE:
This term, our PE focus is striking and fielding, helping children to develop coordination, teamwork, and confidence.

Music & PSHE:
In Music, children will learn and perform Living on a Prayer, working on rhythm, pitch, and performance. Our PSHE work will centre on friendships and building positive, supportive relationships.

Computing:
Children will learn how to stay safe online and begin developing their programming skills through digital projects. Key areas include Self-Image and Identity, Online Relationships, Online Reputation, and Online Bullying.
