Spring Term 2020/21
Welcome back. I hope you have had a relaxing Christmas and New Year despite current restrictions. Below is an overview of what we plan to learn this term whether that be at home or in school.
“YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET. WE
MUST EQUIP THEM WITH THE INFORMATION, INSIGHT AND
PRACTICAL SKILLS TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
BIODIVERSITY – BOTH INTRINSICALLY AND FOR THE SURVIVAL
OF HUMANITY. EDUCATORS HAVE A KEY ROLE TO PLAY IN
PREPARING YOUNG PEOPLE FOR THE CHALLENGES THAT LIE
AHEAD. THERE CAN BE NO GREATER LEGACY THAN GIVING
YOUNG PEOPLE THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SAVE OUR PLANET.”
SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
WWF’s Living Planet Report, released in 2018, revealed the scale of human
impact on our precious natural world. To support your understanding of this theme, we recommend watching The Netflix original documentary series
'Our Planet' which tells the story of the one place we all call home, because if we understand our planet, we can create a future where we all thrive.
For our Connected Curriculum this term, we will be learning about Our Planet and how the different biomes, species and natural systems of planet Earth connect and support each other to maintain human life. Most importantly, children will build their knowledge and understanding of sustainability issues, explore their own values and attitudes and develop key skills so that they feel empowered to take action in shaping a brighter future for our planet.
We will be learning how to:

Use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to three decimal places
Solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to three decimal places where appropriate
