  development?
• How does a foetus develop during its gestation period?
• How do babies grow and then develop as children?
• What is puberty and how does it change our bodies?

 Geography

Europe – A Study of the Alpine Region

During this study of the Alpine Region we will explore the Alpine region of Europe, how the Alps were formed and how homes are adapted to the climate. We will create a storyboard or digital book on mountain formation, design an Alpine home, and produce literature for visitors to the area using geographical vocabulary. The unit builds on previous work the children have done investigating their local area and other regions of the UK.

In this unit, the children will:

• Use maps to focus on countries, cities and regions in Europe
• Be taught to understand a region of another European country
• Be taught to understand some of the physical and human processes that shape a region
• Extend their knowledge and understanding beyond the local area to include Europe. This will include the location and characteristics of a range of the world’s more significant human and physical features.

Key questions:

• Where are the Alps?
• How were the Alps formed?

• How are homes adapted to suit the Alpine Climate?

• What are the main industries in the Alps? 

• How have avalanches changed the landscape?

• What should tourists know about the Alps?

 Art

• Explore and be inspired by the work of Kandinsky
• Explore how music inspires mark making and painting

Homework Menu

As part of our wider curriculum topic, children can also choose to complete homework from our  homework menu (see below). This is optional, however, it will be enjoyable for the children and it will allow them to take their learning further and share it with you at home. Once any tasks have been completed please bring them into school and we will do our best to display as many of them as possible.

We would love to see how creative you can be and display your hard work for all to see.
