Grasshopper Class
Welcome to Grasshopper Class!
Our school value this term is 'Loving'.
Our project focus is 'to explore'.
This term, our project is all
about the Tectonics.
Below is our enquiry question linked to this project.
How do natural forces like mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes shape the Earth and affect the way people live?
Above is our overarching enquiry question which is fed into everything we do with our learning about the mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes. It is an 'ungoogleable' question where children make predictions and justify their reasons. It links with our PSHE units, our school values and the project we are exploring this term.
The children can develop their learning by branching out from the 'project' and setting their learning on a different path. They may find that they might come away from learning about tectonic plates and onto something completely different that really interests them. It is going to be interesting to see where their learning takes them.

Maths Fluency - Each week the children will be given a set of arithmetic questions. These questions will be completed on a Monday and repeated on the Tuesday all the way to Friday. Each day, the questions they answered incorrectly will be addressed with the idea that they improve their scores rapidly as they go through the week.
