During Term One we have focussed on:

Earth And Space Sciences

In Year One we have been leaning about patterns of events that occur on Earth and in the sky, such as the appearance of the moon and stars at night, the weather and the season.

In Year Two we have been identifying the Earth’s resources and how they are used in a variety of ways.

In Year Three we have learning about the  Earth’s rotation on its axis and how it causes regular changes, including night and day.

In Year Four we have learning about how Earth’s surface changes over time as a result of natural processes such as weathering and erosion

In Year Five we have been identifying the planets of the solar system and comparing how long they take to orbit the sun.

In Year Six we have been learning about how sudden geological changes such as tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes can affect Earth’s surface.

In Science this term we have been learning about how living things:

• Have a variety of external features.
• Grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves.
• Can be grouped on the basis of observable features and can be distinguished from non-living things.
• Have life cycles.
• Have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment and
• The growth and survival of living things are affected by physical conditions of their environment.
