Topic:
continue with the active May mat - what has been your favourite activity so far?

History
We are finding out about Early Islamic Civilisations and this week we are going to be finding out about the Silk Road.
First watch the video (make sure you are keeping esfae!)  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn3e37VWc0k Whilst watching the video, think about theses questions: 
Who were some of the early important people in establishing trade routes?
What goods were traded?
What areas were linked by the ‘silk road’? 
What else travelled the ‘silk road’, as well as goods?
Now complete more research using www.swiggle.org.uk as your search engine and complete a two page spread about the silk road.
