Our Learning Journey

Maths

Curriculum

Our curriculum topic for Spring is Rainforests. We will be looking to answer the big question “Why does the world need rainforests?"

In Geography we will be looking at the locations of different rainforests in the world and how this links to their climate.

Children will also we looking at the positive impact of the rainforest and the benefits they have for the world. They will also be looking at what deforestation is and the negative effects of deforestation.

Science

Our science topic for Autumn is animals including humans. We will be looking to answer the big question "What's under our skin?"

In this unit children will understand that plants and animals obtain food in different ways, identify the right types of nutrition needed in a healthy diet, name different skeleton types, identify the main bones in the body and their uses, and explain how muscles work together to enable movement.
