Growing Tomorrow's Leaders

Term 3

This term, Year 4 will be learning about mountains. Our key question this term is "What is it like to climb Mount Everest?"

 

The pupils will learn about the different types of mountains, how they are formed and the climates around particular mountain ranges and their locations in the world. They will study Edmund Hillary and his famous expedition up Mount Everest, where they will then apply their knowledge into writing a biography on him. In Science, we are learning all about Electricity, so have arranged for Fizz Pop Science to come into school and deliver a fantastic workshop to each class to extend their learning.
