Our topic in this Spring Term is
'Exploring habitats'
'Exploring habitats'
During this topic we will explore a number of habitats. We will begin our exploration looking at our own habitat and asking why we live here and not under the sea? Why do certain animals live in their habitat and how are they adapted to it?
Our educational visits will allow us to enhance our learning and allow us to apply and expand on our learning. We will be visiting different places of interest linking to our topics throughout the term; such as the recycling centre, local farms, aquariums and woodland habitats.
Please find below, some useful resources to support any home learning. These videos and activities are some examples of what we will be covering in class over the term.
