Our inquiry will be on exploration. Year 6 will focus on the following:
Planet Earth and Beyond
Earth Systems
- Appreciate that water, air, rocks and soil and life forms make up our planet and recognise that these are also Earth’s resources.
Interacting Systems
- Investigate the water cycle and its effect on climate, landforms and life.
Astronomical Systems
- Investigate components of the solar system, developing an appreciation of the distances between them.
