Spring Term Topic: Darwin's Delights

This term, our focus will be on Darwin's Delights, where children will explore the life and discoveries of Charles Darwin. They will learn about key events in Darwin’s life, his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, and how his observations contributed to the development of the theory of evolution through natural selection and adaptation. This topic will integrate skills from History, Geography, and Science to build their understanding.

As always, we will take a cross-curricular approach, exploring the theme through various subjects to create a rich and engaging learning experience.

Literacy Focus: Kensuke's Kingdom

Our core text in Literacy this term is Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. This captivating story follows an eleven-year-old boy, Michael, whose family embarks on a global sailing adventure. Much like Darwin's journey, Michael visits many places before being shipwrecked on a remote island. The story explores themes of survival and adaptation, aligning beautifully with our topic on Darwin.

We look forward to an exciting term of discovery and learning!
