Curriculum Planner 2024-2025

Summer 2025

Welcome back to the Summer term

This Term’s Topic: Science – Evolution

This term, we will explore the fascinating world of evolution and answer the big question:

How are we here?

We’ll dive into how living things have changed over time and learn about the process of natural selection. We’ll also discuss how offspring of different animals are similar to, but not identical to, their parents, and investigate both inherited and environmental characteristics. You will discover how different creatures adapt to their environments, and gain an understanding of what ‘survival of the fittest’ really means.

Our science topic will link to our writing lessons, where we’ll enjoy creating imaginative narrative stories, possibly inspired by the concepts of evolution and adaptation!

PE will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so please remember to come dressed in your PE kit on these days.

Don’t forget to read at home, practice your times tables, and complete your CGP books to help reinforce your learning!
