Why Earth?

This term, Year 5 delved into an exciting scientific question: How does Earth support life? The students were captivated as they explored our planet’s unique position in space. Located at the perfect distance from the Sun, Earth sits in what scientists call the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ – not too hot, not too cold – where conditions are just right for life to thrive. Through research, the children discovered how Earth’s location and environment have played a crucial role in the evolution of life.
