Spring 2 Week 1 22nd February
Welcome back after the half term break – we hope you managed to have a well earned break and that you all had some quality family time together.
This half term, we will be taking more of a Geography focus as we begin to learn about Volcanoes and how they are formed. Our hook day will begin with us making models of volcanoes and erupting them, as well as locating some key areas on a map – including Pompeii in Italy and Catania in Sicily where Mount Etna has recently erupted.
Please find the work below for the week beginning 22nd February – including activities for the hook day and Art activities for Tuesday.
