WELCOME TO PURPLE CLASS
Overview
This half term, our topic will again have a geography theme. We will be finding out about the coldest places in the world - the Arctic and the Antarctic. We will make comparisons between these places and the place that we live. We will also think about how these cold places are very different to the country we studied last half term - Australia. During this topic, we will be reading lots of fiction as well as non-fiction books to help us to learn about these very cold places and it’s wildlife. We will use maps, plans and photographs to support our learning.
During this term we will also be taking part in anti-bullying week and we will be thinking about the importance of Remembrance Day.
