Term 2
Our World - Dinosaur Detectives
This term in science we will be learning about dinosaurs. We will be learning about things that are alive, used to be alive and have never been alive. We will learn about Mary Anning, who used to look for dinosaur fossils in Dorset. We will also be learning that Advent is a time of preparation for the birth of Jesus, and preparing ourselves for Christmas.
Friday 13th October - Viking Day
A fearsome bunch of Vikings turned up today! They learnt Viking Songs, made stew, created brooches and pastel pictures. We'd also like to say a big thank you for all the amazing costumes - seeing them really made our day!
Friday 6th October - Bath Children's Literature Festival
We had a wonderful visit to listen to Dapo Adeola - a book Illustrator. He read us his most recent book: Speak Up! And he taught us to draw one of the characters: Luna the Cat. Thank you to all the brilliant parents who came on the trip with us.
Term 1

We will have a wow day to begin this exciting project and also have a wonderful Viking Day, where we will dress up, take part in activities across KS1 and join an online workshop led by the Viking team at the Jorvik Centre.
