Upper Key Stage 2
Welcome to Class 5 and Class 6!
Our Curriculum Project for Summer 2022 is Tomorrow's World!
Tomorrow's World
Text messages, emails, websites, blogs and podcasts. There are so many ways to communicate. We’ll learn about the history of computing, which surprisingly goes back 6,000 years to the Antikythera mechanism, and find out how optical fibre cables are used. Discover the movers and shakers in the world of technology, the people who’ve shaped the modern world. Perhaps you might be a visionary for the next generation. Build robots and circuits, break codes and investigate gadgets galore. Why not write a thriller narrative in the style of Anthony Horowitz? Then, on request from MI99, build a website for a new Spy School. What pages will it need? One for gadgets? A secret lunch menu? You decide. Let’s start today on Tomorrow’s World.
