Home Learning:
This week, we would like you to create an anti-deforestation posted that is influenced by the video that we watched in Geography on Friday. Imagine that the 'Rang tan' appeared in your bedroom, and you wanted to spread the message to save their home. You could research some hard hitting facts to persuade people. Remember to make it eye catching!

Thematic Curriculum:
The afternoon curriculum this week looked the life processes in plants and animals and changes that occur in humans as we develop into old age. We also started to learn about habitat destruction and why and where this is happening around the world. Next week we will be venturing out of school to complete a fieldwork study of the local land use.
