Spring: Term 2
During term 4 we will be exploring a topic about Earth. We will be investigating fossil fuels and renewable sources of energy and thinking about how these impact greenhouse gases in the environment. We will be investigating how we can help to look after the world around us including everyday things we can do at home. We will also be investigating the Victorian Eunice Foote who was an American scientist, inventor, and women's rights campaigner. She was born in 1819 and was the first scientist to identify the insulating effect of certain gases, and that this could affect the worlds atmosphere.
In geography we will be developing our understanding of Locational Knowledge. We shall be looking at how mountains are formed, famous mountain ranges and how we can locate mountains on a map using at Atlas. We will also be looking at how land changes overtime, through human involvement or physical geography and how we can protect mountain ranges in regards tourism.
Our writing this term will include pieces to both persuade and inform, such as a non chronological report and persuasive leaflets. We will begin our term using the book, ‘Cloud Tea Monkeys’ by Mal Peet and Elspeth Grahame.
