History

• Study a non-European society that provides contrasts with British history – Benin (West Africa) c. 900-1300 CE.
• Children should continue to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history, establishing clear narratives within and across the periods they study.
• Children should regularly address and sometimes devise historically valid questions about change, cause, similarity and difference, and significance.

D&T

• Generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design.
• Select from and use a wider range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing], accurately.
