Autumn Term    

  Our Frozen World

During our topic on ‘Our Frozen World’ we will continue to build our locational knowledge through our work on continents and oceans and the geography skills of understanding human and physical features. We will also take time to look at environmental issues such as global warming and pollution.

Have you ever wondered what is at the top of the highest peaks and at the bottom of the deepest oceans? What is on the other side of the world or at the north and south poles?

We will continue to be historians researching the expeditions of Captain Robert Falcon Scott to the Antarctic, with all its highs and lows, and ask questions about the sources that could have been used to document his remarkable journey to the South Pole. We will answer questions such as:

Who on earth is this famous person? How did Scott get to the South Pole and what happened then? Why did Scott risk his life going to the South Pole? How do we know what happened on Scott’s last journey? How should Scott be remembered today? Did anyone else travel to the South Pole?

It’s going to be a busy and fun autumn term in class!
