We are delighted that this term we will be taking part in our Forest School lessons with Miss Abel. Churchill Class will enjoy visiting the Windmill Woods every Wednesday morning.
This term our topic is “Frozen Kingdoms”. Throughout this topic, we will learn about the regions of the Arctic and Antarctic. We will learn about the similarities and differences between these two regions, including the climate, landscape and natural resources. We will learn how to use grid references, lines of latitude and longitude, contour lines and symbols to identify the geographical locations of the Arctic and Antarctic, and how these, along with the tilt of the Earth, affect day length and warmth. We will investigate polar oceans to learn how they differ from other oceans on Earth and how climate change increases Earth’s temperature and leads to rising sea levels. We will learn about the indigenous people of the Arctic, including how their lives have changed over time, and about the positives and negatives of tourism in Antarctica. We will also learn about classifying animals, animal adaptations and evolution, and polar exploration and discovery. To find out more, view our Frozen Kingdom Knowledge Organiser.
