Learning & Growing Together To Be The Best We Can Be
Autumn Two– Dynamic Dynasties
We will complete our learning on Dynamic Dynasties this half term and also look at some companion projects, which include:
Investigating Our World
During the Investigating Our World project, your child will study Ordnance Survey maps to write a description of the local area. Your child will learn about climate zones, vegetation belts and biomes. They will find out that the climate and vegetation in an area determine the animals that live there. Your child will learn about the human geography of the continents and locate capital cities around the world. At the end of the project, they will carry out a fieldwork enquiry to discover which settlement types are in their local area.
Forces and Mechanisms
This project teaches your child about the forces of gravity, air resistance, water resistance and friction. They will spend time investigating the different forces.
Earth and Space
This project teaches your child about our Solar System and its spherical bodies. They will describe the movements of Earth and other planets relative to the Sun, the Moon relative to Earth and the Earth's rotation to explain day and night.
How can I help my child prepare for this topic?
