Dear Parents and children,

During the spring term, we will be reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

In History we will be studying the Ancient Greeks. We will learn about who the Ancient Greeks were and when they lived, the importance of Greek gods, comparing Athens and Sparta, understanding how Athenian democracy worked, the importance of ancient Greek philosophers and finally look at the achievements of the ancient Greeks.

In Geography we will be studying Oceans. We will be exploring the importance of our oceans and how they have changed over time with a focus on the Great Barrier Reef, specifically addressing climate change and pollution. 

 In Science we will be studying Earth and Space and Lifecycles and Reproduction. In Earth and Space we will explore the movement of celestial bodies in the solar system and learn about the Earth, other planets and the moon. We will discover how the Earth's rotation causes night and day, understand how sundials work and investigate satellite uses and the issue of space junk. In Lifestyles and Reproduction we will be comparing the lifecycles of plants, mammals, birds, amphibians and insects. We will also investigate reproduction in plants.

In Art we will be looking at fashion design, and in Design and Technology we will be creating pop- up books.
