Our Summer Term Enquiry Topic is
'Why is our world wonderful?'
During this enquiry, your child will learn about different beliefs on how the world was created, the countries of the UK, the continents and oceans of our world, what plants are, how plants grow, what we need to do to care for them and why we need to care for our world.
Our Enquiry Topic will have a weekly enquiry for the children to investigate.
