Current Learning
Our topic for term 3 will have a PSHCE and Geography focus and is: 'How do human decisions affect the world?'
We will be investigating the use and misuse of the Earth’s resources. Children will research environmental issues focusing on climate change and global warming. They will ask questions to determine what these issues are and how they are being addressed. Using satellite images, children will view the hole in the Ozone over Antarctica and consider the implications for future generations.
We will also be reading the text 'Varmints' by Helen Ward & Marc Craste, which is an exquisitely illustrated graphic text that contrasts the beauty of the natural world and how it comes under threat from pollution, over development and industry.
