To Investigate great artists, architects and designers in history, for example Giuseppe Arcimboldo. To develop artistic techniques, including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design to create an abstract space painting, recreate The Great Wave sketch and The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gough.. To Investigate great artists, architects and designers in history, for example: Peter Thorpe, Vincent Van Gough and Katsushika Housaki. To improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay] to create a one-point perspective: under the sea at The Deep. To Investigate great artists, architects and designers in history, for example the work of M. C Escher to create tessellating fish/ animal art.
Design and Technology Design, make and evaluate: a Tudor pouch with Tudor loop braiding, a Tudor wax seal, a Tudor Rosie and a new Coat of Arms. Design Make use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups select from and use a wider range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing], accurately select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials and textiles. Evaluate investigate and analyse a range of existing products evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work Design, make and evaluate: a 3D solar system, a spaceship or moon buggy, a waterproof container to keep precious items safe during a natural disaster and a model of a pumping heart.design Make use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups select from and use a wider range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing], accurately select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials and textiles.

Science Animals including humans Biology Impact of drugs What effects do tobacco and smoking have on our bodies? Write a letter to Sir Walter Raleigh to explain the dangers of smoking (cross-curricular English) Biology Impact of diet Tudors never ate vegetables, eggs and other healthy foods as they believed only the poor ate them. They preserved meat in salt. Properties of materials Chemistry - use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating Tudors used salt to preserve food. Much of the salt came from evaporating salty water over coal fires. Can we get solid salt from salty water? What is the fastest way to evaporate the water? (Salt Crystals) Chemistry - Compare everyday materials Thermal conductivity Rich Tudors would wear fine wool, linen, silk, cotton, velvet and fur. Poor people would wear coarse wool, linen and leather. Which Tudor people would have been warmest during the winter? How can we find out which fabrics are best at keeping us warm in cold weather? Chemistry Compare and group everyday materials based on their properties. Thermal and electrical conductivity The Tudors mined ores of copper, iron, tin Animals including humans Biology impact of exercise When rockets launch, astronauts bodies experience a lot of high forces, which makes it harder for their heart to pump blood to their brain. Astronauts sit inside the rocket in a reclined position so they are less likely to faint as they begin their ascent Measure heart rate before and after exercise (cross curricular maths) Earth and Space Physics - Day and night Tudors did have mechanic clocks but they were very expensive. Many people had pocket sundials. They also used sand timers. Who can make the most accurate sand time measurer? Physics forces Mars has many craters that have been formed by meteorites. Investigate how the size of different objects affects the size of a crater. Measure the size of the craters? Will different surfaces affects the size of the crater? Present findings as a graph cross-curricular maths) Recap gravity theory (Isaac Newton and the apple) for a Science investigation. Ask why does an apple go brown when the skin is broken? Using different liquids, (salt, vinegar, lemon juice and control apple) can the children stop an apple turning brown? Record outcomes using tables, diagrams or graphs. Living things and their habitats To describe how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals To give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics. To describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird To describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals. Electricity To associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit.
Computing To understand computer networks including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the world wide web; and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration. To use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content. To select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information. To design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts. To use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output.
History Tudors N/A Local history study A study of an aspect or theme in British history that extends pupils chronological knowledge beyond 1066 a local history study of Hull a study over time tracing how several aspects of national history are reflected in the locality (this can go beyond 1066) a study of an aspect of history or a site dating from a period beyond 1066 that is significant in the locality.
Geography Place knowledge understand geographical similarities and differences through the study of human and physical geography of a region of the United Kingdom, a region in a European country, and a region within North or South America. Geographical skills and fieldwork use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied use the eight points of a compass, four and six-figure grid references, symbols and key (including the use of Ordnance Survey maps) to build their knowledge of the United Kingdom and the wider world Human and physical geography describe and understand key aspects of: physical geography, including: climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers, mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water Music To develop an understanding of the history of music, particularly during the Tudor period. Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression. Improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the interrelated dimensions of music.
