Term 3 Week 1


Welcome back everyone!  I hope you  all managed to enjoy some time off as a family. Personally, it’s nice to start the term from week one. 

Term 3 is quite busy, with Exhibition, ArtSpaces and Book Week.   Just a small timetable change with Tech for the Year 6s now on Tuesday, which will allow for greater organisation on Mondays. 

The Year 5 Inquiry is (Where We Are in Place and Time) an Inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationship between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global perspectives.  I will negotiate with the Year 5s to come up with an agreed Central Idea. 

The Year 6 Inquiry is Exhibition.  Over the holidays the boys should have completed, or are completing, an A3 drawing or writing about 2060.  It should consider a range of areas such as transport, food production, the environment, housing, energy, communication, employment, etc.
