In RE this half term, we will be looking at the topic ‘To the ends of the Earth’ and ‘Dialogue and Encouter’. We will also explore other world religions.
RSE / PSHE
We will continue to be using the TenTen resources for RSE, and a programme called 1 Decision to teach PHSE and Caritas. We also use Equaliteach to incorporate more of our Fundamental British Values.
Science
In Science, we are developing our Scientific skills such as observing, predicting, investigating and proving through a range of areas of Science. Looking at our Learning Journey, we have learnt lots about plants and trees using good vocabulary such as deciduous and evergreen. Over the next term, we will be learning all about plants, habitats, animals and materials. We will regularly revisit all of these areas to ensure we remember what we learn.
History and Geography
Within History we are learning about Florence Nightingale and Ibn Battuta, the plague and comparison of explorers.
In Geography this term, we are focusing on Australia, the great barrier reef, Aboriginal Australia and the Daintree Rainforest. We are also looking at map skills with a focus on our local area.
Music
This term we will continue looking at musical terminology.
