WELCOME TO PURPLE CLASS
Overview
This half term, our topic will have a geography theme. We will be finding out about the country of Australia and what it would be like to visit this country. We will also compare it to our own country and find out about the things are same and the things that are different. We will think about the physical and human features in both countries. During this topic, we will be reading lots of fiction as well as non-fiction books to help us to learn about the country of Australia and it’s wildlife. We will use maps, plans and photographs to support our learning.
Later in the term, we will also be taking part in a poetry week. What an exciting half term we have ahead of us!
RE
This half term we will be looking at the Creation Story in the Christian religion. We will think about how Christians believe that God create the world and that He wants people to take care of it. We will also talk about how some people are not showing respect for the world.
Our Jigsaw unit will be “Being Me In My World.”

In science we will be learning about the different seasons that we have in this country and also about the seasons that they have in Australia.
