Autumn 1

Vicious Volcanoes

This half term, we’re diving into the explosive world of volcanoes, exploring how these powerful natural wonders shape our planet. We will discover the different types of volcanoes, from towering stratovolcanoes to wide shield volcanoes, and learn how their structure affects the way they erupt. We’ll journey beneath the Earth’s surface to investigate the layers of the Earth and understand how tectonic boundaries cause dramatic geological activity.

Through exciting lessons, hands-on activities, and awe-inspiring facts, we will uncover the dangerous and ferocious nature of natural disasters. From lava flows to ash clouds, we’ll learn how volcanoes impact people and places around the world, sparking curiosity and wonder. This topic promises to ignite our imaginations and deepen our understanding of the dynamic forces that shape our Earth!

Jigsaw PSHE - Being me in my world

This term, we are exploring how our choices impact others, helping us understand the importance of kindness, empathy, and responsibility in everyday life. We’ll be learning about our rights and responsibilities, and how our actions can lead to rewards or consequences. Through discussions and activities, we’ll reflect on our roles within school, at home, and in the wider community, and think about how we can contribute positively to each.

We’ll also take time to reflect on the opportunities we have, and how to make the most of them with determination and resilience. As part of our learning, we’ll explore ways to manage worries and anxieties, especially in today’s changing world, and develop strategies to support ourselves and others. This topic will help us grow not only as learners but as thoughtful, caring members of our community.
