Autumn term 

Our first theme is 'Across the Water'. This is based on the novel 'Journey to the River Sea' by Eva Ibbotson. This is a  joyous Amazon adventure set in the lush nature of Brazil, Journey to the River Sea is filled with mystery and extraordinary characters.

Maia, an orphan, can’t wait to reach her distant relatives a thousand miles up the Amazon. She imagines a loving family with whom she will share great adventures. Instead she finds two spiteful cousins who see the jungle as the enemy and who refuse to go outdoors. However, the wonders of the rainforest more than make up for the difficult twins and their parents.

And when Maia meets a mysterious boy who lives alone on the wild river shores, she begins a spectacular journey to the heart of an extraordinary and beautiful new world.

During this theme, we will be studying the whole curriculum but we will have a core geography and science focus - studying South America with specific reference to Brazil and the city of Manaus; we will use the Amazon rainforest and river to support our learning in science - thinking about animal and plant adaptations and biomes.
