Spring 1

For this half term, we have a Science driver and our question to investigate is…

Within this Science Driver, we will be learning about our Solar System, focusing on the Sun, Earth and Moon.  We will be looking at all the planets, their relationship with us and how our orbit around the Sun affects day, night and the seasons. We will also study the Moon’s orbit around Earth and the various implications that has on us.

In English we will learn about famous astronauts and Tim Peak’s recent mission in space. Additionally, we will write information texts and biographies.

Here is an outline of the other curriculum areas we will be covering this term.

There are also links to some useful websites for the children to use for their own research and enjoyment.
