Geography
Settlements - Y4 researched the needs of early settlers, looked at how settlements changed over time, used grid references to investigate settlements and drew plans so as to create a map of their own settlement.
Plants of the World - Y4 researched ways in which everyday plants are used (medicine, perfume, paper), identified the location of plants around the world (how they survived when in extreme locations) and were eager to find out about the most unusual plants around the world.
The Caribbean - Y4 have been introduced to the location of the Caribbean and labelled some of the many islands. During our 'Reading Together' morning in May, we read about schools in Jamacia and in St. Lucia. We were amazed when we found out about the volcanic eruption in St. Vincent in 2021 and the world's response to it. We have also compared the weather in the Caribbean to the weather in the UK.
We are looking forward to learning much more!
We made a homemade tropical fruit punch. It was delicious!
