Our Topic
Oceans!

 

This term we will be learning about the oceans, seas and rivers of the world.  In this geography-based topic, we will explore the human and physical features of rivers, from the source to the mouth. We will also explore how and why coastlines have changed over time.

         

The ocean is a subject awash with creative opportunities.  In Art, we will study Hokusai's Great Wave and use it to learn about colour mixing and adding fine detail to paintings.  In addition, writing poetry about the ocean is a great way to develop use of figurative language and performance skills.  Our other writing units will be focused on the sea with a narrative based on the beautiful book The Whale by Ethan and Vita Murrow. 

There will also be a focus on protecting the environment through debates and learning about sea life.  This ties in to our Geography work on understanding and recognising the similarities and differences between the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.  Our DT unit will also link to this, researching, investigating and designing shoes suitable for an Arctic climate.
