Welcome to Sapphire class!

In Sapphire Class, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that is stimulating and challenging. We support children to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to enable them to enjoy learning and achieve success. We strive to develop a positive learning environment where children feel safe, happy and confident to take on challenges. Our aim is to help our children to grow into kind and compassionate young people who have a desire to work hard to reach their full potential. Please take a look at our curriculum maps and photos to find out more about the exciting things that we have been learning about recently.

Our learning journey...

This term, our curriculum commission is to work as archaeologists. In history, we will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians. We will be using the skills that we have learnt to excavate a tomb, research the treasures inside and create a museum to share our findings. In geography, we will be learning about the human and physical features of Egypt, including rivers, climate, settlements and land use.

This term, we will be exploring the texts, 'The Egyptian Cinderella' by Shirley Climo, 'River Stories' by Timothy Knapman and 'Tutankhamun's Tomb' by Sue Reid. Our writing learning journeys will provide us with the opportunity to write a diary entry, a non-chronological report about the River Nile and a newspaper report about the discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb.
