Term 2
This term our core text is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by J.K. Rowling. The book is about the adventures of Newt Scamander and includes detailed information texts about the creatures Newt meets whilst on his adventures. We will use the text as inspiration to design our own mythical creatures and write an information text. We will also be learning how to use colons and bullet points and applying these within our writing.

This term we will be studying Fieldwork in Geography. We will consider the tools geographers use to conduct fieldwork as well as exploring examples of fieldwork currently being carried out. We will then use these tools ourselves to conduct fieldwork within our local area.
