Our Learning Journey

This term, our topic is 'Europe Explored'. We will begin by exploring different continents before zooming into focus on Europe. We will look at the countries in Europe, understand human and physical features within these countries and what aspects attract tourism.

This term we will be reading the text, 'The Legend of Podkin One-Ear' by Kieran Larwood. Our writing journey will provide us the opportunity to write character descriptions, persuasive writing, creative writing and poetry.

In maths, we will be solidifying our understanding of decimals before moving onto money, time. In the second half of our term we will explore shape, statistics as well as position and direction.

Our science learning, will see us exploring living things and understanding electricity. We will understand what electricity is and create circuits, exploring what happens when circuits are changed and key components that are needs to make a circuit work.

In our art lessons, we are going to explore different European artists and using different mediums to create these.

During the first half of this term, Garrett class have some special visitors... caterpillars. Which we will watch grow and eventually release them into our wonderful school garden.
