Curriculum Overview
This term we have a Geography based topic. This project teaches children about the characteristics and features of rivers and mountain ranges around the world, including a detailed exploration of the ecosystems and processes that shape them and the land around them.
In Science we will be learning about grouping living things, known as classification. They study the animal and plant kingdoms and use and create classification keys to identify living things. Later in the Spring Term, we will be learning about States of Matter. This project teaches children about solids, liquids and gases and their characteristic properties. They observe how materials change state as they are heated and cooled, and learn key terminology associated with these processes.
In Design Technology we will be learning about textiles. This project will teach us about home furnishings and the significant designer William Morris. They learn techniques for decorating fabric, including block printing, hemming and embroidery and use them to design and make a fabric sample.
We also have two Art and Design projects: Vista where we learn about the techniques that artists use when composing landscape images, such as colour and atmosphere and animal learning about the historical and cultural portrayal of animals in art.
