Spring Term

 

London

Our Geography learning will focus on London as a capital city. We will be learning about the human and physical features of London and will compare these features with other capital cities in the UK. Our mapping skills will come into practise when we learn compass directions to describe the location of features on a map.  We will get the chance to practise our fieldwork skills when we tour Macclesfield Town in order to compare its features to those of London.

                                   

                                                    

Materials Matter

Our science focus is 'Materials Matter'. We will identify and discuss the uses of different everyday materials. Through a range of enquiry skills, we will think about the properties of materials in order to decide why materials are suitable or unsuitable for different uses. Through working scientifically, we will compare the uses of materials in places such as school and home.
