Topic
After
After Easter we are due to start our new topic Misty Mountain Sierra!
Mighty mountains peak above the morning mists, imposing and eternal, rocky outcrops at their feet. Discover how these giants are formed, as a fold or a block, a dome or a plateau. Follow the water cycle’s course from peak to valley and meet the exceptional tribes of the hostile Himalayas. Then plan a mountain expedition from the BMC that is eco-friendly and safe as can be. But beware, look out! What’s that by that tree? Its footprints are huge! Have we found the Yeti?

Wishing all of our wonderful children and families a safe isolation period. Remember not all learning is done in the classroom. Use these troubling times to spend quality time with your little ones. Make bread and teach them about measurements and capacity, bake cakes, learn to tell the time, create a birds eye view map of your garden or yard.
We will continue to update our class pages to offer new learning ideas and information.
Take care and be safe,
Mrs Potter.
