It has been so lovely settling in and meeting the children this term. They are a great class!

Our topic for Terms 3 and 4 is:

Voyage: South America

Here's where US travelers can go in Central and South America

Have a look at the Topic Web we will use as a basis for our lessons and the questions we want to explore.

For the next two terms we will be exploring South America and comparing it to the UK. We will be comparing the Amazon River to the River Thames, the Andes to the Southern Fells and exploring the culture of each of the 13 countries in South America. We'll also have computing database skills to learn, lifecycles in science, answer the questions 'How can following God bring freedom and justice?' and 'What difference does the Resurrection make to Christians?' in RE, look at decimals ,fractions and percentages in maths and study the Explorer to inspire our writing.
