Space: the Final Frontier
This term we will be studying most of the curriculum through our theme of 'Space'.
We will look at the history of astronomy and space exploration, the geography of our planet and its place in the Universe, we will be reading and writing stories set in Space, listening to Holst's Planet Suite, and drawing and modelling our Solar System.
