    This Environment Unit introduces children to the ecological challenges that face the modern world. The children will undertake a range of activities that challenge them to engage with environmental issues and to understand the simple changes we can make to live more sustainable lives. Throughout the term, we will take lots of opportunities to take our learning outdoors and observe the natural changes that occur in our allotment area.

    Our 'Big Question for this term...

    Concept Cartoon

    This is our concept cartoon for this term's science topic! We use concept cartoons as a visual representation of science ideas. The simple cartoon style drawings put forward a range of viewpoints about science ideas in situations that are designed to motivate and engage students and stimulate discussion of their ideas.
