This term we will be learning to be the following:

Geographers

We will learn about Australia. We will use atlases and computers to find out more about the geographical features and will learn about human and physical features, the Outback and the Uluru.

Historians...

We are using historical sources to find out about Great and Ghastly Events, including the Titanic (1912), The Queen's Coronation (1953) and the Moon landing (1969).

Artists

We will explore famous artists e.g. Elizabeth Catlett, Danny Eastwood and Lorna Simpson. Exploring patterns, shapes and colours in their artwork. 

Designers...

This term we will focus on food and bridges. We will design, make and evaluate recipes and packaging for healthy meals and explore stable structures. 

In Forest School we will be developing our creativity, using natural materials to make useful items and toys and cooking on the campfire. 

Extreme Weather

Throughout the year we will be looking at extreme weather around the world as part of our Geography learning.

We will learn about different types of weather and the impact it has on humans and nature. We will explore locations on the map and use a range of sources to find out more. You could use a weather app to talk to your child about this at home and to compare temperatures and climates around the world.
