This term we will be exploring a range of exciting topics...

 

Location, Location

The children will explore rural and urban settings using a range of texts. They will retell a story using the key features.

In Geography, the children will compare human/physical features of rural and urban settings (UK and non-UK).

In Design Technology, the children will design and build a house using a range of tools, materials and components.

                                                                          

From One Small Seed

The children will investigate the conditions for growing seeds and plants.

The focus for this unit will be scientific writing and the children will record the process of carrying out a scientific test.

                                                               

Through the Keyhole

The children will look ‘through the keyhole’ into the habitats of various animals e.g. polar bear (Arctic tundra) and camel (desert).

They will identify how each creature is suited to its environment. They will also explore ‘micro- habitats’ and explain what lives there and why.  

                                                                 

Unsinkable?

The children will focus on a significant event in history: the sinking of the Titanic. They will write a recount or diary of the events as they unfolded.

In History, the children will learn that the past is constructed from a range of sources and is represented in different ways.

In Design Technology, the children will design and make a replica of the Titanic, drawing on its key features.
