Term 4 Connected Learning

This term, our learning focuses on 'The Galapagos Islands'. In the 1800s, Charles Darwin explored these islands and made detailed recordings of his findings. Due to his research, it revolutionised the people's understanding of evolution and natural selection. The animals living within the island demonstrated unique characteristics allowing them to thrive within the environment. We will be studying this in detail within our Science lessons and in Geography will be looking closely at the formation of islands and the physical and natural features found in South America.

Key Texts

Home Learning

This term, we will be focusing on revision for our upcoming SATS tests.

In addition to the home learning creative project, each week we will be sending home a Maths and GPS revision booklet - these will go out on a Monday and we would like them to be handed back in the following Monday for marking. This is to support your child's ability in knowing how to revise for upcoming exams and the benefits of doing so - these are good skills to practise as they will undoubtedly be beneficial leading into secondary school and beyond.
