Autumn 1

Please find more information about what the children will be learning this half term by opening the Knowledge Organiser file found at the bottom of the page.

This half term, we will complete our study of 'Amazing Rivers' by Julie Vosburgh Agonone and Kerry Hyndman.

We will write the text for an information board, designed to give visitors information and persuade
them to look after our waterways. 

During this half term, we will be learning about place value. 

During science this half term, we will be learning to group and classify living things. 

This half term in Geography, we will study Rivers. In this unit, children will learn about rivers and their key features, including the source, mouth and tributaries, and understand that rivers flow downhill towards the sea, a lake or an estuary. They will use eight-point compass directions to describe locations and explore how rivers shape the landscape through erosion and deposition. Children will also learn about the water cycle and how it provides water for rivers. They will study and compare some of the UK's major rivers, including the River Mersey, River Dee and the River Thames.
