Class teacher and primary topic lead Keeley Steel said: “Each term we study a whole primary school topic which encompasses history, science and art.
“All of our primary classes have looked at different eras of ancient history and then brought their findings and their artwork to show the rest of the school what they have learnt.
“Because our students have a vast range of abilities, we ensure that our topic work includes aspects which all of the children, no matter what their individual needs are, can take part and enjoy.”
Hope Wood Academy primary pupils will begin a new topic next term looking at food glorious food.
Pupil Jasper Defty, six, added: “I really liked learning about the past. I found out a lot about the ancient Egyptians and made a sarcophagus and a mod rock mummy.”
