What are we learning this term?

Here is a brief outline of what you will be studying throughout the Spring Term. 

Geography

We will be developing our enquiry skills by investigating key questions, such as why are rivers important and why are cities located near rivers. In addition, we will be learning about the major rivers of the world.

Science

The children will be investigating electricity. They will be learning about different electrical circuits and investigating how a change to a component within a circuit changes affects the voltage.

French

This term, the children will engage in conversations using familiar vocabulary to ask and answer questions.

PSHE/RE

The children will learn about feelings and emotions with a particular focus on certain emotions - how they make us feel, how our bodies react and what we can do to support ourselves and those around us when we are feeling a certain way. They will also learn more about different faiths and beliefs.

DT

We will be designing and making cookies for the CO-OP’s Fairtrade range. The children will be investigating a variety of ingredients to make their product ‘cookietastic.’

P.E.
