Welcome to Year 4!

Welcome back after the half term break. I hope you're all refreshed ready for this busy and exciting 1/2 term.

Our geography topic for this half term is 'How can we live more sustainably'. The main objective of this enquiry is for the children to understand through the use of a number of examples what sustainability entails and how they might approach applying those principles to their own lives. It is important for young geographers to grasp that sustainability is not just confined to how we interact with the environment. It also has equal relevance to many aspects of their life, especially in the context of personal and social wellbeing. We will focus on looking at how we can live more sustainably, considering our own lives and what we currently do as individuals and at home as a family to be more sustainable.

We can’t wait to get started on these new and exciting topics!
