Spring Term - Frozen Kingdoms
In the Frozen Kingdoms project, you will learn about the regions of the Arctic and Antarctic. You will learn about the similarities and differences between these two regions, including the climate, landscape and natural resources. You will learn how to use grid references, lines of latitude and longitude, contour lines and symbols to identify the geographical locations of the Arctic and Antarctic, and how these, along with the tilt of the Earth, affect day length and warmth. You will investigate polar oceans to learn how they differ from other oceans on Earth and how climate change increases Earth's temperature and leads to rising sea levels. You will learn about the indigenous people of the Arctic, including how their lives have changed over time, and about the positives and negatives of tourism in Antarctica. You will also learn about classifying animals, animal adaptations and evolution, and polar exploration and discovery.
Autumn Term - Maafa
In the Maafa project, you will learn about Africa today and the ancient kingdoms that thrived on the continent for thousands of years. You will learn about the origins of the transatlantic slave trade in the 15th century and Britain’s involvement from the time of Elizabeth I, when John Hawkins became the first British slave trader. You will understand the structure of the transatlantic slave trade and the consequences of enslavement for enslaved people. You will also discover how the people of Britain benefited from the money and goods produced by the slave trade. You will learn about the causes and consequences of the abolition of slavery in the 19th century, the worldwide African diaspora and the European colonisation in Africa. You will explore the lives and actions of black people in 20th century Britain. You will understand how the Race Relations Act of 1965 became the first piece of British legislation to tackle racial discrimination and know that the Equality Act 2010 provides people with protection against racism and other forms of discrimination, today. You will also explore the lives of black people who have made significant contributions to Britain and will celebrate black culture in Britain today.
