This term, our focus in Literacy will be on The Barnabus Project by the Fan brothers. We will delve into narrative skills, honing our ability to vividly describe characters within stories. Additionally, we will explore the art of persuasion through non-fiction texts, allowing us to understand the power of influencing others through our writing. Exciting times ahead for our literacy journey!

Foundation Subject - History
In our Vikings topic this term, we'll uncover where these fierce warriors hailed from and why they set their sights on Britain.
