Curriculum

Where in the World are we?

Our curriculum focus for this term is finding out where in the world we live.

During our curriculum lessons, we will explore the human and physical features of the local area and a contrasting non-European country. We will learn about the world using maps, atlases and globes.

As part of the topic, we will identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the UK and around the world.

We will study the work of the artist Joan Miro and his work on Magical Realism and surrealism and creating our own artwork in his style.

Here is our Curriculum Knowledge Organiser:

Science

Animals Including Humans

In this topic, the children will learn about their senses and how they use them to discover the world. Children will identify and name the basic parts of the human body and recognise the functions of some body parts, including the sense organs. Children will describe and compare common animals, and will recognise and name a variety of animals and their body parts. They will draw comparisons between human and animal body parts. After developing their scientific knowledge the children will then answer our big question: Why do elephants have such big ears?
