Autumn 2 - Let's Explore: The Rainforest.
In this half term the children will be continuing their investigation into the different climates and reaches of our Planet. Using inspirational speeches from; Greta Thunberg, David Attenborough and key note speakers at this years COP27, the children will be writing persuasive letters to other children and adults to change the way we look after our planet.
The children will be looking at fictional stories of "A Rang-Tan in my bedroom" and "Greta and the Giants" in addition to non fiction texts around the Rainforest and our planet to build their knowledge for their writing.
Autumn 1 - Lets Explore: Frozen Planet
In this first half term we will be exploring the Frozen aspects of our planet Earth. We'll be looking at Ernest Shackleton's Journey to the Antarctic and how he used our school values of 'Never give up' and 'Teamwork' to survive. Using our Geography skills we'll explore the Oceans and the Continents and to look at how the climates change. We'll explore the lives of penguins understanding how the survive in these conditions.
Launching our topic will be a message from David Attenborough asking us to think of ways we can spread a message about looking after our planet.
