Project for spring term 2017 TOPIC: Animals in different habitats. Objective: Students will work towards presenting an exhibition of the classes learning throughout the term. Students will be given a range of different animals from a variety of different habitats that they will display in their first assembly and within a classroom exhibition where they can share their learning with you. Covered areas of the curriculum: English: letter writing, information reports, researching (finding important information), creating information books, narrative writing. Science: exploring different habitats and why animals live in these areas. Geography: exploring different parts of the world and the characteristics of these areas. History: Extinct and endangered animals. Arts: Visual representation of animals, creating displays for the exhibition. IT: researching information about the animals and a range of habitats. Maths: Measurement of these animals (not a key focus throughout the topic).

Maths Taught in conjunction and separately in order to ensure the curriculum is covered throughout the year. Starting focus on number and place value. Measurement will be covered slightly when exploring different animals as well as different characteristic features of habitats.
