This term's topic is 'Shipley & Beyond'. In our lessons, we will uncovering our local, rural area of Shipley and comparing this with the vibrant city of Paris, France. Our class reader this term, is the brilliant 'Rooftoppers' by Katherine Rundell. The story is about a girl called Sophie, who was found floating in an empty cello case after a shipwreck. Growing up with her guardian, Charles, Sophie is convinced that her mother is still alive and sets out to find her. Sophie’s search takes her to the rooftops of Paris where she learns about identity, hope and courage. Further details of this term's curriculum can be found below, alongside information regarding the weekly timetable and spellings (to be updated shortly).
