Term Connected Learning

Our Connected Learning incorporates Science, History, Art, DT and Music. In Term 2, we will be learning about significant events from the past, for example The Gunpowder Plot and why we wear a poppy on Remembrance Day. We will continue our Geography unit by learning about the five oceans and seven continents. In Science, we will be learning about the life cycles of Humans and of some Animals. In ICT, we will be using I-pads to explore using different media for a creative purpose. Our PE learning this term will involve dance starting with ‘The Gunpowder Plot’ and we will continue to develop tactics used in invasion games. In RE, we will be answering the two big questions ‘Why does it matter to be a part of a community? and ‘Why does Christmas matter to Christians?’
