What is life like in the Alps?

This half-term, we will be undertaking an in-depth study of the Alps, the highest and most extensive mountain range system in Europe! We will be applying all of our fantastic geographical skills and explore how physical processes have shaped the landscape and how humans have adapted to living and working in this challenging environment. We will be focusing on our geographical comparison skills and deepening our understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes.

Jigsaw PSHE - Healthy Me!

In this topic, the children will discuss and consider the following: 

• The health risks of smoking
• The health risks of misusing alcohol
• How to practice basic emergency aid procedures (including recovery position)
• How to get help in an emergency
• How body image may be influenced by media
• The different roles food can play in people’s lives 

There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
