Geography:
The UK: Weather and Climate
Where in the world do we live?
This term we begin a geography based topic called ‘The UK: Weather and Climate’. In this topic, we will name and describe the five major climate zones on Earth. We will locate and name countries and capital cities in Europe before studying significant human and physical features in the United Kingdom. We will learn about significant UK counties and cities and carry out fieldwork to study the effect of weather on the local environment. We will also learn the five main types of land use.
Science:
Plant Nutrition and Reproduction
What is the life cycle of a flowering plant?
This term, our science topic will be ‘Plant Nutrition and Reproduction’. We will learn to link plant structure to function and identify plant parts associated with water transport and reproduction. They will build on prior learning, naming and describing the function of different parts of flowering plants, including the roots, stems, leaves and flowers. We will investigate how water and nutrients are transported in plants. We will create the life cycle of a flowering plant and learn the parts and functions of flower parts. We will ask scientific questions about pollination and research to find the answers. And finally, we will learn about seed formation and dispersal and identify how the structure of seeds aid dispersal.
