Curriculum
Our curriculum topic for the Spring term starts with a big question
Who has inspired you?
This term, the children will focus on answering the big questions through History, Art and Design and Technology. Children will focus on a number of skills in History to achieve their learning; finding similarities and differences, asking and answering questions, sequence in chronological order, use historical language. In Art, children will understand the work of a notable artist, show pattern and texture by adding dots and lines. In D&T, children will design products that are functional and appealing.
Science
This term our topic starts with the big question
What does a plant need to grow?
Children will explore the following topics to answer their big question above: How seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants. They will investigate what plants need to grow and will find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy. They will carefully observe and sort seeds and will also recognise how some plants are able to grow from bulbs. They will plant a variety of seeds, describing how they grow. Children will have the opportunity to plant seeds and to observe growth. Working scientifically, children will observe seeds and plants using simple equipment.
