This half term, we will be delving into the wonderful season of Winter. We will be looking at the seasonal changes as well as what we associate with Winter and using it to inspire our writing and art work.

Key Stage One… don’t forget to have a go at some creative homework this half term! We can’t wait to see what you get up to!

This half term we will be focusing on a new multi-cultural topic called ‘Incredible India!’ We will be looking at the different traditions and religious festivals that people celebrate in India as well as key facts about famous landmarks and cities there. We will also be trying lots of Indian food and snacks ready to design our own Indian meal. As an end of term treat, we will be doing our own colour dash inspired by the Holi festival of colour.

This half term, we will be exploring the wonderful world of David Attenborough! We will be delving into the story of his life so far and why he is an inspirational person. We will also be looking at the different continents and oceans in the world as well as animal prints and patterns in Art. We will be rounding off our half term with an exciting trip to The Deep to see how marine animals are protected from pollution in captivity.

For our final half term, we will be having our own story festival across the whole school! During the week commencing 19th June, we will be creating our own performance of a traditional tale with dancing, singing, acting and even some puppetry! Then, on Monday 3rd July, we will be hosting our whole school celebration afternoon where we will get the chance to show our story performances to the rest of the school – it’s going to be amazing!
