Spring Term

This term our topic is ‘Around the world’. We have started this topic by reading a story by one of our favourite authors, The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson. The Snail and Whale go on an adventure around the world and see many of the wonders it has. In our English lessons, we will be applying what we know by using adjectives and adverbs. We will be looking at the use of conjunctions and how to use these correctly within our work.

In Geography we will be reactivating our learning about the 7 continents. The children will learn about the equator and how this is linked to climate. We will focus on the continent of North America, in particular the Island country of Jamaica and identify how this country is different our local are and England.
