COMMUNICATION
As effective communicators we will have opportunities to communicate through drama, dance, music and debate.
INDEPENDENCE
As independent learners we will take responsibility for our learning. We will organise the equipment we need and be ready to listen.
ESSENTIAL LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES
As Scientists we will identify the role of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle. We will begin to identify how plants and animals are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
As Geographers we will use world maps atlases and globes to identify countries and continents around the world. We will study the key aspects of the formation of rivers, mountains and coasts.
As Artists we will work on art activities linked to the River Thames painting by Monet and Hokusai’s 36 views of Mount Fuji.
As Designers we will make a collage of the water cycle, make boats, build models.
As Musicians we will explore the piece of music called The Moldau by
Smetana that represents the journey of a river and develop a dance linked to it.
MOTIVATION
As motivated learners we will always do our best. We will be willing to learn and show pride in our work.
