Our new topic this term is: Ancient Civilisations

The children will become experts in one of the four earliest civilisations.

Ancient Sumer, Indus Valley, Ancient Egypt and Than Shang Dynasty. 

As a year group we will add to our time line as we move backwards from Vikings, Saxons and Romans.  We will discuss chronology and legacy and discover the many many inventions these civilisations made and which things we still use today. 

The end of the topic will see a presentation  and debate about and the children will decide which civilisation they believe left the greatest legacy.
