Term 2: Ice Ice Baby
This term we will be learning about cold habitats and linking this with science learning. We will be learning about the animals that live in Antarctica and how they survive the cold! In our geography learning we will be looking at where places are located on maps and globes and how that decides their climate. Then within our history learning we will find out about the treacherous journey that Robert Falcon Scott took to Antarctica.
As well as this, we will be preparing for a digital Nativity, where we will find out more about the Christmas Story.
In our ICT and Art learning we will be exploring digital art!

Also, our science learning will help us find out about the types of habitats and animals found in hot countries.
We will also be looking at the food grown and eaten there, and will be tasting and making some of our own creations! Look out for our Pea Pod sale towards the end of the Term!
We will be getting creative too, looking at landscape artists and painting our own Caribbean scenes, listening to and appreciating some Caribbean Reggae music and having a go at a Caribbean dance!
