Our topic this term is World War II in which we will be studying how WWII started and how it changed Britain. We will look at key events like the Battle of Britain and D-Day, the Blitz and its impact on Nottingham, the Home Front and the Holocaust. Using propaganda posters, diaries, and photographs we will gather evidence to analyse and support our findings.
The Curriculum Newsletter outlines further details as to what we will be learning during the Autumn Term.
This term, we will be studying The Kingdom of Benin (West Africa, c. 900-1300 AD). We will begin by Comparing Benin to other medieval civilisations. We will then be analysing oral histories and the Benin Bronzes as sources to investigate the rise of Benin, its kings and trade networks. In addition to this, we will learn about Benin’s art and its destruction during colonialism and why the Benin Bronzes were taken to European museums.

This term we will be undertaking a Local History Study – The Windrush Generation and Immigration to Nottingham. We will investigate the Windrush generation, their contributions to Nottingham and the experiences of Caribbean immigrants in Nottingham’s communities. Also we will examine the Civil Rights movements in Nottingham, thinking about how this led to changes and how attitudes to immigration have changed over time. As evidence, we will use oral histories, newspaper articles and photographs.
