Our message today is about learning in Topic this half-term. This message was written in December and intended to go out at the start of the half-term, but events overtook us a little, so here’s a slightly tweaked version…
Each week, two of the seven daily sessions are Topic and two are Science.
In Topic, children in Key Stage 1 and 2 are geographers this half-term – geography is the main focus for Topic learning. The theme is about the environment and/or natural disasters:
- Year 1 and 2 children are learning about their local environment
- Year 3 and 4 learners are finding out more about volcanoes and earthquakes
- Year 5 and 6 pupils are learning about climate change and the link with seas and oceans
You can help at home by checking out the geographical words and phrases that will be focused on during the topic. Encourage your child to research the words and find out more about them. As the topic progresses over the half-term, talk with your child about which words and phrases they’ve learnt about in the recorded home learning sessions.
