Home Learning 20.04.20

Summer 1 Week 1

Welcome back to home learning. We hope you have all had a lovely break and made some fantastic memories. This half term we will be exploring rural areas (countryside) and comparing them to the more urban areas (towns) where we live.

During this topic we will be learning about animals that live in rural habitats and how the animals are adapted to suit their habitat. The children will also build on their knowledge of life cycles and food chains. Our book focus for this half term is 'Little Evie and the Wild Woods.' The children will explore the character of the wolf and compare the wolf's character to characters in other famous tales and stories.
