Our Topic this half term is: Frozen Kingdoms

If you can share any knowledge relating to our topic we would love to hear about it, plus if you have any skills (and time) related to the lessons we would do our best to include you in an afternoon with the children!

Our Project : Frozen Kingdoms

​

This project teaches children about the polar regions, the animals and plants that live there, the explorers who have ventured there and what is happening due to climate change. 

We will be:

• Looking at Antarctic and Arctic animals

• Learning about Captain Scott and Shackleton's voyages

• Using recycled materials to highlight the issues of climate change and pollution

​

At Home... Why not:

• Find out about these amazing places and the livingthings that are there

• Read or watch the stories about the explorers of the past the explorers that visit there today

• Apply the artistic skills we've looked at in our lessons

Science: This project teaches children about electrical circuits, their components and how they function. They recognise how the voltage of cells affects the output of a circuit and record circuits using standard symbols. It also teaches children about programmable devices, sensors and monitoring. They combine their learning to design and make programmable home devices.

​

PE: 

This half term PE will be on a Monday for 6B and 6W. Please ensure pupils are in the correct school PE kit, with no logos and plain or house tops. It's gymnastics, so pupils will be expected to have bare feet, so please don't send children in just tights. Under-shorts for girls wearing skirts would also be appropriate.

​

ART: 

We start with Inuit art. This project teaches children about the Inuit way of life, including some of their cultural and artistic traditions. We then move onto Enviromental Artists. This project teaches children about the genre of environmental art. They study how artists create artwork that addresses social and political issues related to the natural and urban environment. Children work collaboratively to create artwork with an environmental message.

​

DT: We will become Engineers. This project teaches children about remarkable engineers and significant bridges, learning to identify features, such as beams, arches and trusses. They complete a bridge-building engineering challenge to create a bridge prototype.

​

Geography: 

This project teaches children about the characteristics and features of polar regions, including the North and South Poles, and includes a detailed exploration of the environmental factors that shape and influence them.
