Topic – Rivers and Rainforests
 

Within term 3 the children have been focussing on ‘Rainforests’. By the end of this unit of work the children will answer the topic question ‘Is deforestation ever justified?’. Whilst studying the ‘rainforest’, children will have a visit from some rainforest wildlife (TBC). After this, the children will move on to the topic of ‘Rivers’. Woven within these units there will be a study of the Amazon. Later, we will be learning about The Maya and comparing the civilisation to other civilisations. 

 

Homework will typically consist of:

Homework: This will be posted on Google Classroom on a Friday and due in by the following Friday.

• Spellings – a quiz each Friday

PE – Mondays and Thursdays. Within term 3, the Monday PE will be dance and in term 4 it will be Tag Rugby. On Thursday, the PE session in term 3 will be gymnastics. After this, term 4 will be Netball.
