Welcome to Beautiful Butterflies.

The adults in the classroom are Miss Wild, Mrs Ruff and Miss De-Mooij. 

Our Topic for Summer Term is Ancient Civilisations.

In the Ancient Civilisations project, we will learn about three of the earliest civilisations in
the world; ancient Sumer, ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley civilisation. We will study
the ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian civilisation in detail, to discover how crucial
factors like water sources and farming helped them to develop and thrive. We will find
out about important inventions and the growth of cities. We will also study the lives of
different people in society, including the roles of kings and pharaohs. The children will
reflect on their learning by identifying the similarities and differences between the two
civilisations, before studying the Indus Valley civilisation independently. We will explore
sources of evidence about the location of the Indus Valley, cities and trade, and note the
reasons why historians know less about the Indus Valley than other ancient civilisations.
We will then compare all three civilisations, before learning about the causes and
consequences of each civilisation’s decline. We will also consider whether or not these
civilisations left a lasting legacy
