Civilisations – Shang Dynasty

Year 6 have been learning about the world civilisations that existed during and around the time of the Shang Dynasty.

The children were full STEAM ahead at STEAM club this week!

In our second STEAM club session, we explored levers and fulcrums by making catapults! We started with simple ones, then improved them to make them more efficient. We even had a competition at the end!

The Shang Dynasty

Year 6 have loved starting their new topic learning about ‘The Shang Dynasty’. They became historians and found out where the Shang Dynasty was located and explored what these ancient items could have been used for.
