Autumn Term
Our Autumn Term quest is 'Heroes and Villains.' Throughout the quest we will be exploring what makes a true hero and what makes a true villain. In our quest we had some Big Bang Moments to look forward to including our trip to Go Ape, where we can face our fears and become heroes, as well as well making periscopes and trenches whilst we learn about the heroes and villains of World War One.
Below is a curriculum overview of the exciting learning Vultures complete during the Heroes and Villains quest.
