🛡️ 🏛️ History

The Anglo-Saxons

Find out who the Anglo-Saxons were and how they shaped early medieval England.

✓ The Anglo-Saxons came from northern Germany and Denmark and settled in Britain from around 450 CE.

✓ They divided England into kingdoms such as Mercia, Northumbria, Wessex and East Anglia.

🔊 🔬 Science

Sound and How We Hear

Discover how vibrations create sound and how our ears detect it.

✓ Sound is made when objects vibrate — the vibrations travel through the air as sound waves.

✓ Sound needs a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through — it cannot travel through a vacuum.

⚔️ 🏛️ History

The Vikings

Explore the world of the Vikings: fierce raiders, fearless explorers and skilled traders.

✓ The Vikings came from Scandinavia (present-day Norway, Sweden and Denmark) and raided Britain from around 793 CE.

✓ Vikings were skilled sailors and navigators who used the stars and landmarks to cross vast oceans.

🔢 🔢 Maths

Place Value: 4-Digit Numbers

Understand how the position of a digit determines its value in large numbers.

✓ In a 4-digit number, each digit has a value depending on its position: thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.

✓ The digit 0 acts as a placeholder — in 4,050, the 0 in the hundreds column shows there are no hundreds.

🏞️ 🌍 Geography

Rivers

Find out how rivers form, flow and shape the landscape around them.

✓ Rivers begin at a source (usually high ground) and end where they meet the sea or a lake — called the mouth.

✓ The area of land drained by a river and its tributaries is called a river basin or catchment area.

🦴 🔬 Science

The Human Body: Skeleton and Muscles

Discover how the skeleton and muscles work together to support and move the body.

✓ The human skeleton has 206 bones and provides shape, support and protection for our organs.

✓ Muscles work in pairs — when one contracts (shortens), the other relaxes, creating movement.

🏛️ 🏛️ History

Ancient Greeks

Discover the ideas, achievements and city-states of ancient Greece.

✓ Ancient Greece (c. 800–146 BCE) was made up of independent city-states, the most famous being Athens and Sparta.

✓ The ancient Greeks invented democracy — a system of government in which citizens vote on decisions.

🕐 🔢 Maths

Telling the Time

Learn to read analogue and digital clocks and solve problems involving time.

✓ There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.

✓ A 12-hour clock uses am (midnight to midday) and pm (midday to midnight); a 24-hour clock runs from 00:00 to 23:59.

🖊️ 📖 English

Similes and Metaphors

Learn the difference between similes and metaphors and how to use them powerfully.

✓ A simile compares two things using the words 'like' or 'as' (e.g. as brave as a lion).

✓ A metaphor describes something as if it actually is something else, without using 'like' or 'as' (e.g. the classroom was a zoo).

🌍 🌍 Geography

Climate Zones

Explore Earth’s five climate zones and discover what shapes the world’s weather.

✓ The Earth has five main climate zones: tropical, dry, temperate, continental and polar.

✓ Climate zones are determined mainly by distance from the equator — areas near the equator are hottest.

🧲 🔬 Science

Forces and Magnets

Discover how forces act on objects and explore the push and pull of magnets.

✓ A force is a push or pull that can change the speed, direction or shape of an object.

✓ Magnets attract magnetic materials (iron, steel, nickel and cobalt) and can attract or repel other magnets.

📝 📖 English

Adjectives and Adverbs

Learn how adjectives and adverbs add detail, precision and colour to your writing.

✓ An adjective describes or modifies a noun (e.g. the enormous, ancient tree).

✓ An adverb modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb, often describing how, when or where (e.g. she ran quickly).
