Our learning this half term:
This half-term our topic focus is Weird and Wonderful Weather. This is a topic with a Geography focus where we will be exploring Peru, whilst comparing the features of our locality to those of Peru. The children will be watching clips from Paddington Bear in Peru and our English writing focusses to this topic.
In Science this half term, we are looking at seasonal change. We will be identifying the four seasons and the weather that is associated with each season.
Our DT focus is making smoothies. Children will be taught how to identify fruits from vegetables. They will be preparing and tasting different foods to then design and create their own smoothies.
In computing, children will learn about the importance of phrasing questions and that certain data-handling resources are limited in the answers they can provide.
Our PSHE focus this half term is 'Money Matters' where children will begin to learn the value of money. We will explore why money is important for us to be able to buy important things for us to survive and also things that we enjoy. Children will begin to understand how to save money and what we gain from doing this.
In RE this half term we are learning how we should care for others in the world and why it matters. The children will also think about how we can care for the world that we live in and why it is important.
