Term 4- Does The Weather Affect Living Things?
This term our question is ‘Does the Weather Affect Living Things?’ In this geographical topic, we will learn more about the equator, where it is located and how this effects the climate of world. We will learn about places that are hot and cold and be able to find them on a map. We will use this knowledge to compare the weather in these places with the weather in Chilton.
We will start our writing by looking at the book ‘Iceberg’ to inspire our very own descriptive writing of Antarctica. Later on in the term we will read ‘The Great Explorer’ to write a guide for what we need to survive in harsh climates. In Maths this term we will be working hard on multiplication and division, height and length and statistics. In Science, we will be delving into plants. We will identify and name some common wild and garden plants and describe the structure of flowering plants.

Welcome back to Term 3. We hope you had an enjoyable break and Happy New Year!
This term we will explore ‘Who Should Be Remembered?’. This will be a history-based topic where we will learn about 3 inspirational nurses: Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole and Edith Cavell. We will be finding out about their lives and what they achieved. We will compare them and use the statue outside of St Thomas’ Hospital, London, to answer our question of who deserves to be remembered. We look forward to kicking this topic off this a themed day on Friday 10th January. Don’t forget that children are invited to dress up as nurses or injured soldiers.
