🐉 🏛️ History

Ancient China: The Shang Dynasty

Explore the Shang Dynasty, one of China’s earliest civilisations, and its remarkable achievements.

✓ The Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE) was one of China's earliest recorded civilisations.

✓ The Shang developed one of the world's earliest writing systems, using symbols carved onto animal bones and shells (oracle bones).

🔢 🔢 Maths

Roman Numerals

Learn to read and write Roman numerals and understand how this ancient system works.

✓ Roman numerals use letters to represent numbers: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1,000.

✓ When a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it is subtracted (e.g. IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40).

🌳 🌍 Geography

Rainforests and Biomes

Discover what biomes are and explore the incredible biodiversity of the tropical rainforest.

✓ A biome is a large region of the world with a distinctive climate, vegetation and wildlife.

✓ Tropical rainforests cover just 6% of Earth's surface but are home to more than half of the world's plant and animal species.

🖥️ Computing

Creating and Presenting Digitally

Learn to create clear, well-designed digital documents and presentations.

✓ Word processing software lets us type, edit, format and publish written documents electronically.

✓ Presentation software (like PowerPoint) allows information to be displayed on slides with text, images, charts and animations.

🦎 🔬 Science

Evolution and Adaptation

Discover how living things adapt to their environments and how species evolve over time.

✓ Adaptation is the process by which living things develop features that help them survive in their environment.

✓ Evolution is the gradual change in a species over many generations through natural selection.

🌱 🔬 Science

Environmental Conservation

Learn how human activity affects the environment and what we can do to help protect it.

✓ Human activities such as deforestation, pollution and burning fossil fuels are damaging the Earth's ecosystems.

✓ Climate change — caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases — is causing global temperatures to rise, affecting weather and wildlife.

🧮 🔢 Maths

Mental Maths: Addition and Subtraction

Build speed and confidence with key mental strategies for adding and subtracting.

✓ Rounding and adjusting is a mental strategy: to add 99, add 100 and subtract 1.

✓ Partitioning breaks numbers into hundreds, tens and ones before adding or subtracting each part separately.

🏖️ 🌍 Geography

Coasts

Explore how waves shape the coastline, creating cliffs, caves, arches and beaches.

✓ A coast is where the land meets the sea — the UK has around 17,800 km of coastline.

✓ Waves erode (wear away) cliffs and rocks to form features like caves, arches, stacks and beaches.

World Religions: Judaism

Learn about the history, beliefs and sacred texts of one of the world’s oldest religions.

✓ Judaism is one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, with origins over 3,500 years ago.

✓ Jewish people follow the Torah — the first five books of the Hebrew Bible — as their most sacred text.

🧱 🔬 Science

Materials and Their Properties

Explore the properties of materials and learn how they determine what materials are used for.

✓ Materials can be described by their properties: hard or soft, flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, magnetic or non-magnetic.

✓ The best material for a job is chosen based on its properties — a window must be transparent; a frying pan must conduct heat.

🎻 🎵 Music

The Orchestra and Instruments

Explore the four sections of the orchestra and discover how each family of instruments works.

✓ An orchestra is a large group of musicians playing together, typically divided into four sections: strings, woodwind, brass and percussion.

✓ String instruments (violin, cello, double bass) make sound through vibrating strings, bowed or plucked.

⚡ 🔬 Science

Electricity and Circuits

Discover how electrical circuits work and the difference between conductors and insulators.

✓ An electrical circuit must be a complete, unbroken loop for electricity to flow.

✓ Conductors (like metals) allow electricity to pass through them; insulators (like rubber and plastic) do not.
