Mrs Priest

Welcome to Maple!

Year 4

This half term our topic is The Arctic.  We will be exploring this in humanities and Art.  We will also be using, 'Leaf' by Sandra Dieckman as our vehicle text in English to look at the adventure of the main character, Leaf the polar bear. 

In geography sessions, we will be studying all about the Artic, the climate comparing with the United Kingdom, the features, biomes in the Artic plus the animals, plants and Nenets that live and have adapted to live there. We will further explore the changes and impact of humans.

In Art lessons, we will be exploring Sculptures looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We will be learning about freezing and melting in our Science lessons.
