Term 6
Kenya
Our project for term 6 is called All about Kenya. We will be thinking about what is different and what is similar to the UK and Kenya. Later in the term we will be going for a walk to Moorland Road to see how it has changed over time and how our local environment has changed over time. We will look at similarities and differences in our locality comparing it to another place in the world – Kapati Plain in Kenya.
Term 5
Nature Detectives
In Term 5 we will be looking at what is growing in our school environment as well as learning about habitats and microhabitats. We will look at season weather changes, looking at what happens when spring turns to summer and how the days lengthen. We will learn some names of common trees, flowers and animals and look at artwork from Hokusai and Kandinsky.
Term 4
Journeys
In term 4 we will be exploring our local environment and the contrasting parts of the UK. We will explore what rural, city and coastal mean and compare the similarities and differences of them. We will research and learn about the Brunel and his significance in history and read a range of books such as Mrs Noah's Pockets and Storm Whale. Our investigation this term, for science, will be the best materials to use for a tent and we are looking forward to testing a range of materials for this.
