Term 5-6
This term, we are learning about…
Bristol!
Our learning will be based around our main enquiry question:
How should Bristol’s slaving past be remembered?
We will also try to find answers to the following:
Where is Bristol (on a map)?
Why did settlers choose Bristol as their home?
What was the slavery?
How was Bristol involved in the slave trade?
Who was Colston?
In English, we are reading the fantastic story of Wonder by R.J. Palacio.
We will be reading and responding to the story, using our VIPERS skills to explore and discuss the plot, the characters and the themes.
This story will inspire us to write our own narratives, using complex sentences, standard and non-standard English, and the ‘power of 3’ in our writing.
