Term 2 - Volcanoes

This term we are taking a look at volcanoes through our geography as well as a case study of Iceland and the island of Heimaey with its famous eruption in 1973. Children will be applying their knowledge in our writing this term producing non chronological reports in the first few weeks back. Some children have even brought in rocks, gems and many stories about their experiences with volcanoes which we have enjoyed sharing together.

Please see the curriculum newsletter below for more information:

We also made some fantastic model volcanoes which we erupted outside to demonstrate an eruption.

This term the children have taken part in ‘Discover Christ Church‘ which again has proven an excellent opportunity to get to know our church community and spend some time finding out all about Christianity with thew children able to ask questions and explore unknown parts of the churhc such as the organ and the altar. The children had a great time sewing, glass painting and touring the church.
