This terms Caritas Curriculum Learning

 

Caritas Topic -  Home is where the heart is:

Year 1 Home is where the heart is.

Starting with the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch story we travel the UK in this topic and find the difference between physical and human geography comparing how people live in their communities. We even use our food skills in DT to design and make our own sandwiches for the trip. During science we discover all the different seasons and begin to measure the changes, noticing how they are different across the UK.  In art we discover how our bodies can make spirals and explore the spiral shapes in the physical geography around us, especially shells by the coastline. Through our music we will learn to rap and create our own rap about our community. And of course, we will bring our community together at the end of term as we prepare a nativity performance remembering how important a community is in caring for everyone.
