• Understand that light travels from light sources to objects and to our eyes.
• Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.

• Explain how the Romans have had an impact on today’s justice system.
• Select a time period. Devise 5 questions to a judge/ criminal from this period.
• Look at the sources. What do they tell us about crime and punishment in the past?
• Which sources are the most reliable? Why do you think this?
• Rank the reasons in order of importance for the increase in the number of highwaymen/ smugglers/
• Create suitable punishments for a selection of crimes. Which time period are these most similar to?
• Argue why our justice system is fair. Art: CREATE ROBIN HOOD STYLE HEADWEAR
• Select and record from first hand observation, experience and imagination and explore ideas for different purposes.
• Use fabrics to create 3D structures.
• Use different grades of needles and threads.
• Experiment with a range of media to overlap and layer creating interesting colours and textures and effects.
• Adapt work according to their views and say what they think and feel about them.

Digital Media/Publication: Create an adverting brochure for their headwear, aimed at Robin Hood’s friends. Take photos of the finished headwear and add appropriate text, clipart etc

• Use a range of media tools to fulfil a design brief
• Plan and complete a photo shoot for a specific purpose
• Plan, create, edit evaluate publications and presentations
• Group, align and arrange content using layout toolsT:Make a controllable prisoner barge
• Use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of the barge which is fit for purpose.
• Generate, develop, model and communicate ideas through discussion, annotated sections and prototypes.
• Join materials using appropriate methods.
• Incorporate a motor and switch into a model.
• Control a model using an ICT control programme.
• Build frameworks using a range of materials.
• Use a glue gun with close supervision.
• Evaluate against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work.

• Music: FOCUS STUDY: Understanding the history of music.
  • Play and perform in solo and ensemble context, using their voices and playing instruments with increasing fluency, control and expression
  • Improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the interrelated dimensions of music.
  • Listen with attention to detail and to recall sounds with increasing aural memory.
  • Use and understand staff and other musical notations.
  • Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music from different traditions and great composers and musicians.E : (See Val Sabin scheme of work in the PPA room)
