Topic Blurb

Our topic this half term is ‘Steel City.’ Children will be History detectives finding out what it was like to grow up in Sheffield in the past. The children will look at toys from the past, play old games that were played in the playground, order events in chronological order and study the history of Sheffield including old schools. As Scientists, the children will be identifying, comparing, classifying and investigating everyday materials. We will be learning about why everyday materials are used for certain objects, as well as which materials are waterproof, and which are absorbent. The children will carry out an investigation to find out which material would be the most suitable to make a waterproof coat for Super Ted! In Design and Technology, we will be designing and making our very own toy car. We will learn about the mechanics of a car, how a car moves and the best materials to use for a car.
