This is a geography and science led unit inspired by the amazing picture book, The Wonder Garden, about different habitats around the world. In science we will be focussing on plants and habitats, using research and our outdoor spaces to carry out field study and in geography much of the work will centre around human and physical geography and the study of volcanoes and earthquakes. In art we will be developing sketching skills using botanical drawings as our starting point. Our RE unit will be exploring what we know about Jesus, asking and answering questions using research, stories and artefacts. In music we will have a real treat with our interschool Year 3 and 4 singing event on Thursday 25th May. The curriculum focus in music is a link with French studies learning some French songs. Don’t forget to come and share in this learning on the morning of Wednesday 24th May in Class Mexico.
