ting teaching in year 5, ad for the first half term, I have just been told that the topic is 'china'.

Only throw China into science briefly, as part of another lesson as Earth, Sun and Moon has historically been one Q that the kids got wrong on the Science SATs in Y6... there's so much they're supposed to understand, and all completely abstract to them.
