Spring Term 2020

The topic this term is ‘To Market! To Market!’ The children will use a variety of methods (e.g. maps, Google earth, globes and internet research) to find out about local markets and markets all over the world. They will also visit Oswestry market to buy fresh vegetables in preparation for soup making. They will research where fruits and vegetables come from and look at seasonal weather patterns in such places.  They will locate the 4 countries of the UK on a map and will locate the capital cities and google their markets . We will learn about the history of Oswestry market; how it has changed and why. In Music, they will learn songs about markets (Let's go to market... ) and will chant rhymes (To market, to market ...) and will experiment with changing rhymes and songs. In Art they will create a sketchbook and practise using the media of print to explore fruit patterns. They will look at famous artists such as Arcimboldo, Marino Petro and Clina Polloni. In Design Technology, the children will explore vegetable soups and will design, make and  evaluate their own soup. The children will regularly use computers and will learn how to stay safe when using the internet, by following the SMART rules.
