Summer Term 2
Sunny or Snowy
Geography Focus – Physical Geography, Seasons and Weather
Our focus this term is Geography, we will be exploring the seasonal and daily weather patterns within the UK and climate across the world. We will be looking at how weather changes with each season and the impact that global warming is having upon the weather in the UK and the World. We will read ‘Old Enough to Save the Planet’ to help inspire our children to follow in the footsteps of climate change activists.
We encourage the children to take part in our home learning activities. These are linked to our topic to create a good link between learning at home and in school. Please see below for information about the project homework for this term. If you have any books, DVDs, songs, or artefacts about our current topic, please send these in for our show and tell session we have each Thursday morning. Please see our class timetable below.
