Our topic this term is Ancient Greece and we will be investigating how democracy developed and its influence on modern government. We will examine how have myths have shaped our understanding of Ancient Greece and the lasting impact of Greek philosophy and the Olympics. We will be analysing Greek pottery and architecture to see what these can tell us about Ancient Greece.
Our topic this term is The Shang Dynasty of Ancient China. We will be researching the rise of the Shang Dynasty and its society and comparing the Shang Dynasty with other ancient civilisations. We will be examining oracle bones, bronze artefacts and early Chinese writings as evidence to see what they can teach us. The role of the king, religion and ancestor worship also played important parts in the Shang Dynasty, which we will discover.
This term we will be undertaking a Local History Study looking at Industrial Nottingham and the rise of the lace industry in Nottingham. We will research working conditions in 19th-century Nottingham factories, changes in technology, transport, work, schooling and public health.
