How do plants adapt to different environments and what type of weather would we find in these parts of the world?

In Spring 2 we are learning about the history of food. How has what we eat changed over the years? We will learn about different ways of keeping food fresh and the food shopping habits of people in the past. We will make comparisons to how we eat today.

In Summer 1 we will be finding out about explorers from the past. We will learn about the voyages they took and where they travelled to, finding their routes on a world map. We will learn about the difficulties and dangers they may have faced on their adventures. 

In Summer 2 we will learn about the history of the circus. Where did they travel to? What jobs did they have? 

We will also debate on the ethics of using animals in a circus. Is this right and are the animals treated fairly?
