Spring Term Topics

Winter Wonderland

For the first half of this term, your child will be learning about the changes that happen during Winter, including the types of weather associated with Winter. Your child will learn how to keep themselves warm and how snow and ice are formed. We will be exploring places that have snow all year round and the types of animals that live there. 

Starry Night

After Half term, we will be exploring the differences in the world at night compared to during the day. Children will learn about the importance of a good night’s sleep and learn to sing lullabies. We will delve into the world of space aswell as finding out about nocturnal animals. 

Photo and Video Gallery

We will upload photograph or video slideshows here at the end of each week, usually on a Friday to share with you the things we have been up to in our class. Look at these together with your child to encourage them to talk about their learning experiences. 

Today we celebrated world book day. We all came into school wearing costumes of our favourite characters from books and shared these with our friends.
