Elm class will have PE on Wednesdays and Thursdays this term.

Hair should be tied back and earrings removed before school.

Below are our topic subjects for 2026-2027

Mayan Civilisation

This term in Humanities, our pupils will explore the fascinating world of the Maya, one of the most advanced ancient civilisations in the Americas. The Maya lived in parts of present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador, building impressive cities, pyramids and temples deep within the rainforest.

The pupils will learn about Mayan daily life, beliefs, achievements and traditions. They will discover how the Maya developed a sophisticated writing system, studied astronomy, created detailed calendars and made important advances in mathematics. Through engaging activities and research, children will investigate what life was like for Mayan families and how this remarkable civilisation continues to influence cultures today.

This topic encourages curiosity, critical thinking and an appreciation of the achievements of ancient societies around the world.

We are looking forward to an amazing term ahead.  Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have in the meantime.
