Autumn 1
History- Coronation day
We learned about King Charles II during our topic 1660-1666. The children re-enacted King Charles II's coronation, they made crowns and had a musical parade.
History- Apothecary Day
In History, the children delved into The Eastburn Apothecary. We learned about The Plague of London (1665) and how people tried to cure the plague. The children made their own remedies, recipes and apothecary shelves.
Science- Materials and their properties
The children did some experiments. One to discover whether their materials were waterproof and another to find out which materials could be moved in different ways. The children then used all their knowledge to create a dry, study and comfy shelter for the bog baby (character from our English text).
