SPRING TERM
GEOGRAPHY - Tremors
What happens when the Earth shakes? In this project, we’ll find out about the dangerous world of natural disasters and their deadly effects. By carrying out research, we’ll investigate the Earth’s layers and the location of volcanoes, discovering what causes them to erupt. Working as archaeologists, we’ll locate Mount Vesuvius on a map and find out what it was like to live in Pompeii during the eruption. We’ll also use different modelling materials to create a volcano – watch out, it’s going to blow!

This project teaches children about contact and non-contact forces, including friction and magnetism. They investigate frictional and magnetic forces, and identify parts of a magnet and magnetic materials.
ART - People and Places
This project teaches children about the genre of figure drawing. They study the figure drawings and urban landscapes of the artist LS Lowry and create artwork in his style to show scenes from their school.
