Learning Spotlight

The Alice Smith School Juniors curriculum is undergoing an exciting transformation! 

• We're moving towards a concept-based inquiry approach for Science, History, Geography & DT.
• Students will delve deeper into big ideas and develop transferable skills by asking questions, exploring local contexts, and making connections across different subjects. 
• This innovative approach will empower them to become independent learners and "spark courageous exploration to inspire a better world."

During Term 1a we will learn about-

How we are unique and belong to a school community.

How art can be used to help storytelling.

How forces allow structures to remain standing.

How place value supports our maths skills.

How we can confidently add and subtract numbers.

Term 1b

How we navigate the world around us and how we can protect it. 

How to write formally and informally.

How to multiply and divide numbers.

How to calculate mass of objects.
