Term 5
PE- Orienteering
This term we begin our orienteering learning by exploring our school grounds, learning how to draw, orientate and use maps to find locations and controls.
Geography
Could you survive in the rainforest?
Working as Geographers, we will learn about the Rainforests of the world and why they are important parts of our planet.
We have been looking into what a biome is and the different layers of the rainforest. We then designed a class terrarium to help us understand that a rainforest is one example of a biome with it's closed continuous tree canopy, high annual rainfall with a lack of wildfire and moisture dependent vegetation.
Art
This term we will be drawing and delving deep into the work of John Macallan Swan to answer the question - Why is drawing from observation important?
We have been drawing our own observations of John Macallan Swan's work and using different sketching techniques to make them as realistic as possible.
