Autumn Term
Our Enquiry for the next 2 terms is…
Do we really need to leave this planet?
We will attempt the following questions, along with others, as part of our learning this term:
What is in our solar system?
What are the different planets like?
Why do we have day and night?
Why do we have seasons?
Why does the moon appear to change shape?
English:
This term our English lessons will be based around our enquiry. We will be reading the book ‘Floodland’ by Michael Sedgwick to complete narrative writing. In the story, the sea level rises dramatically, and the main character must escape to an unknown island…
In weeks 4-5, we will be completing non-fiction writing around the fictional planet, Pandora. Towards the end of term 1, we will be looking at the narrative Zathura.
