'To be the best you can be' - Article 29
Misty Mountain, Winding River
This project teaches children about the characteristics and features of rivers and mountain ranges around the world, including a detailed exploration of the ecosystems and processes that shape them and the land around them.
Inspired by the magnificent mountains of the world, we’ll complete graphs showing heights, look at satellite images and create wonderful weavings. Using our literacy skills, we’ll write mountain-shaped poems and compose songs about the water cycle. We’ll also examine how mountains are displayed on a map, and build a water cycle to look at changing states of matter.
This term our class novel is 'Windrush Child' by Benjamin Zephaniah. We will be using this novel to develop our empathic skills via the EmpathyLab model.
