To Russia with Love
This geography driven topic allows children to compare and contrast a modern day European country and city with their own. They are introduced to climates and discuss the issues between urban and rural life. This provides a foundation for climate and biome work in year 5. Music and art form the secondary drivers, through which children examine two historically important individuals – Kandinsky and Stravinksy. Children will study composers and artists throughout their curriculum journey, and this provides an opportunity to examine such people more thoroughly.

Summer Term Home Learning Challenges
At Knowsley Junior School, we know that children achieve their best when home and school work together. This year, we have developed our approach to home learning, informed by research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF).
Our home learning activities are designed to be purposeful, manageable and enjoyable, reinforcing classroom learning, encouraging regular reading and helping children practise key skills. We encourage children to complete activities little and often, developing their confidence, independence and positive learning habits.
Please encourage your child to take part and use their school planner to record, share and celebrate their learning at home.
Learning happens everywhere. By working together, we can help our children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive.
