Our Geography topic this half term is ...
Continents, Oceans, mountains, rivers and coasts​
Why are places in the world different, and how do they affect the people and animals that live there?
In Geography we will be learning about:
What are the continents of the world, and how are they different from each other? |
What are the oceans of the world, and why are they important? |
How can we use maps and globes to explore where continents and oceans are? |
What is a mountain, and how does life at the top differ from life at the bottom? |
What is a river, and how does it change the land as it flows? |
What is a coast, and how do land and water shape each other? |
Check out our Class Dojo for updates on what we are learning.
In Science we are going to be learning all about sustainability.

Reading
Please remember to read lots at home and record in your diary. Please read other things besides your school reading book- the more the better- for example, other story and non fiction books, poems, magazines, signs, even ingredients on packets!
Times Tables
Please remember also to practise your times tables- focus on the 2X 5X and 10X tables in Derwent Class.
Remember:- Bronze means you can say the whole table in order- eg "one times two is two, two times two is four....." fluently.
Silver means you can say the answer to any sum from the times table eg "what's 4 x 5? What's 8 X 5 ?
Gold means you can say the reverse division fact- eg in five times table, what's 20 divided by 5? how many fives in 15?
In ten times table, what's 50 divided by 10?
