Spring Term 2 - Building our Future
Welcome back to school for an exciting 2nd half of our Spring term! We cannot wait to immerse ourselves into our new school theme ‘Building Our Future’ where we will be young geographers exploring our locality and local land use. We will learn about how local land was used for mining and the Selby Super Pit. We will consider how local land is used now since the mines have closed and how we could use local sites to 'build our future'.
As young designers and engineers, we will design a new Visitor's Heritage Centre to celebrate the history of mining locally. To design our Visitor Centre, we will use Tinkercad,an online 3D modelling programme, in our Computing lessons. We will design our centres using local materials whilst considering sustainability and what materials our local area provides.
In our DT lessons, we will then design, plan and build a 3D wooden frame structure, joining sections of wood and reinforcing corners to ensure our structures are secure and strong.
We love reading in UKS2 and cannot wait to dive into our new class novel, Where the World Turns Wild. It is a fantastic adventure fiction book by a local author, Nicola Penfold. Penfold grew up in Doncaster and studied English at St John's College, Cambridge. Where the World Turns Wild is a captivating story of a brother and sister duo who are desperate to escape the walled city in search of their parents and a bid for freedom. It is a truly gripping read and we can't wait to dive in!
