TERM 4 - 'The Wheels on the Bus'

This term our project is called 'The Wheels on the Bus' and we will be looking at different modes of transport that can be used for different journeys. We will explore where we can travel on foot, and learn how to ensure we are safe when crossing the road. We will also go on a walk to the local fruit and vegetable shop. We will then explore journeys made by bike, car, boat, train and plane, and also look at how transport has changed over the years.

Please take a look at our Project Letter - Term 4 (The Wheels on the Bus) and our Curriculum Overview - The Wheels on the Bus (Term 4)

Here is our Reach for the Stars Booklet for Term 4 - you can use it to support your children with their learning at home! Your child can colour in the stars when they are secure in each skill.

TERM 3 - 'Local Heroes'

This term we will be learning about 'Local Heroes', people in our community who help us in different ways. We will find out about our local community, explore maps and go for a walk to a nearby postbox. We will also learn about some of the people who help in our community including postmen, doctors, vets, firemen and dentists. We are looking forward to welcoming some members of our community into our school to tell us about the jobs that they do, including a paramedic, a doctor and a chef.

TERM 2 - There's No Such Thing as a Gruffalo!

Our project for this term is called 'There's No Such Thing as a Gruffalo' and is based around the very well-known story by Julia Donaldson. The children will be learning to tell the story using storytelling actions, and will then be exploring the deep dark woods and the different animals that live there. They will be using maps to find their way around and finding out about the changes that take place in the woods during autumn and winter. We will also, of course, be preparing for a very special and exciting time of year...Christmas! We can't wait to share our Nativity with you all!

What a wonderful first term we've had! The children have settled beautifully into school life and are embracing everything we do.

They have thoroughly enjoyed out topic 'All About Me' and have created lots of fantastic artwork to go with it.

We've also spent time exploring and getting to know different areas of the school and our local church which the children enjoyed. Finally, getting ready for our Teddy Bears'

Tea Party this week has been such a lovely way to wrap up the half term.
