Spring: Term 2
In Science this term we will be continuing to find out about forces. This term we are going to concentrate on magnets! We will be finding out about forces that repel and attract eachother and carrying out lots of experiments to explore these ideas.
Our Science Knowledge Organiser below will tell you a little more about what we will be learning:
In Geography we will be comparing two different areas of the world - the UK and Catelonia in Spain. We will be finding out about how these places are similar and different by looking at the physical and human geography of each location.
