For the second half of the spring term, we return to history as our focus, building on the work we did in the autumn term when we looked at the history of Shaldon Bridge.

​

For our new learning we will be stepping further back in time, looking at the life of Sir Francis Drake. Our new enquiry question is, 'Was Sir Francis Drake a pirate?'

​

We will be exploring what pirates are, looking at who Sir Francis Drake was and what he did and then suing this new knowledge to try to answer our question.

​

Our outcome will be a persuasive speech, arguing for or against whether we believe Drake was a pirate or not. I wonder what we'll all decide!
