Humanities- Geography and History

Autumn Term 1 2025 - Black History and the Slave Trade

In our History lessons this half term we will learn about the slave trade. The lessons cover the history of slavery before exploring the triangular slave trade between Britain, West Africa and the Americas. We will also learn about the life of Harriet Tubman and how she helped to free enslaved people during her lifetime.

Autumn Term 1 - North America

We will be studying the continent of North America in our Geography lessons this half term. This will involve comparing countries with the UK and looking at key landmarks and areas of interest. We will also look at elements of human geography such as differences in cultures and economies. 

Autumn 2 2024 - World War 2

We will be studying this period in history and looking at the causes and the impact of this conflict. This theme threads through our English work as we read Star of Fear, Star of Hope and write a flashback narrative set during the Second World War. We will look at how the war affected daily life in Britain and learn more about how and why the conflict came to an end.
