Autumn Term 2025 - Friend or Foe?

Our Context For Learning this term is Friend or Foe? We are so excited to share all about our learning with you. We will be travelling back in time to explore and learn about castles. We will be learning about life in the Middle Ages, why castles were built and undertaking a special visit to Cardiff Castle to get some hands on experience of life in a castle! 

In the following weeks, the pupils will be provided with opportunities to experience:      

• Asking good questions and discovering new things through play.
• Undertaking enquiry, exploration and investigation and becoming curious about the past.
• Learning about events from the past.
• Learning about forces and using our knowledge of push and pull to design a bow and arrow. 
• Testing designs and using measuring skills to measure projectile distance. 
• Using creative skills to create a piece of artwork inspired by Rhiannon art. 
• Learning that human societies are complex and diverse, shaped by actions and beliefs, by discovering what life was like in the Middle Ages.
• Comparing and contrasting different events and buildings across the world during the Middle Ages. Discovering what castles and special buildings in Asia were like during the time of Marco Polo's exploration.
