Science: Water
Remind children how important water is to all living
organisms. Look at how little of the water present on earth
is fresh & therefore drinkable. Children investigate how
animals & plants adapt to arid conditions & create posters
to encourage us to save water. This links to the current
problem of the water shortage we face and potential hose
pipe bands. In keeping with this theme as a school we are
going to have a Science week where all classes will be
experimenting with water in order to fully appreciate it’s
usefulness and importance.
Topic: Meet the Greeks
A lot happened in Greece between 800BC and 146BC!
Children use information books and suggested websites to
identify the most significant events, dates and places in
Ancient Greek history. We will investigate the leaders and
fighters, believers and thinkers, artists and athletes,
children and families of ancient Greece. This historical topic
will lead us into our next topic which will be the Olympics.
