In the Autumn term, we will be looking at the enquiry question: What makes a journey challenging?

Key concepts: Sustainability and Creation

In term 1, our challenge is to design our own version of the Eden Project for Oxfordshire, that we can send to the Oxford Tourist Board to convince them that this is exactly what Oxfordshire needs! Children will be exploring mountains and different biomes linked to our key concepts of sustainability and creation. They will revise and develop mapping skills and knowledge of the world. Learn how mountains are formed and the features of mountains. Building on previous learning, children will also revise what a biome is and focus on areas of the world that are considered extreme.  

In term 2, children will develop their knowledge of chronological order by looking at the history of polar exploration, evaluating evidence to answer the question: Why was Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole successful, but Scott's failed? 

Planned trips and Visits:

• Science Oxford trip.
• IMPS (first aid) training.
• Lunar Loan visit.
• Project Eden.
• Explorer's Day.
