Summer 1 - Key Information
Welcome to the summer term!
Our new topic is: Our Splendid Skies (Weather and Seasons)
Big Idea: What are the seasons and how does the weather change?
Welcome back Rashford class!
It's been great seeing you all today and I have enjoyed hearing all about your Easter holidays.
In the springtime, we experience lots of different types of weather. Now is a great time to investigate the weather and seasons even further in our upcoming geography unit.
In this unit, we will take a walk outdoors to find out about different types of weather and to look for signs of the seasons. We’ll study TV weather reports, design weather symbols, and learn about weather around the world. Creative opportunities will allow us to explore the weather in works of art and seasonal music! Our thinking skills will come in handy when we set up our weather station and investigate the weather in Keyworth.
See the curriculum map below to see what we will be covering this half-term in our other subjects.
Our class texts:
Shark in the park on a windy day by Nick Sharratt
Mad about minibeasts by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz
... and a selection of weather stories!
