Welcome to Topaz Class!

Class Teacher: Mrs Fairbairn

It is the aim of Topaz Class to promote enthusiasm for fostering a love for life-long learning within a safe, happy and inclusive environment. We are committed to helping our students recognise their individual strengths, and celebrating them, whilst also challenging them to reach their full potential. Together we aim to help the children to grow into kind, compassionate and courageous young people as they transition on to Secondary school.

Please take a look at our curriculum maps and photographs to find out more about the exciting things we have been learning about recently.

Our Learning journey ….

The Topaz curriculum is designed to include exciting, inspiring lessons across a breadth of subjects to engage our students. This term, our curriculum commission is to work as Coaches. We will be looking at the Ancient Greeks and Leadership qualities.

In history, we will be focussing on the Ancient Greek civilisation (democracy, life and Gods/Goddesses). We look at the religious beliefs of the Ancient Greeks and how modern life has been influenced by them. In geography we will investigate what Greece is like today by exploring its physical geography.

This term we will be reading 'Who Let the Gods Out' by Maz Evans and also looking at the Ancient Greek Myths and Legends towards the end of the term. Our writing journeys provide us with opportunity to write poetry, narrative dialogues, newspapers and delve deeper into the importance of character and setting.

Science will focus on life cycles of mammals, amphibians, insects etc
