Our Learning

In Autumn 1, we will be focusing on Art and History for our learning journey enquiries.

 

In Art, our golden thread is still life and we will be drawing still life objects, like apples, using wax pastels. Our aim is to make our drawings look realistic and demonstrate our skills of observation and realism, using light and shadow to achieve this.

 

In History, we will be learning about the Ancient Greeks – our golden thread is how people lived, looking at the housing and living conditions of people at the time. Our class novels for this half term will be linked to our history focus.

 

In Maths, we will continue learning about place value and the four fundamental arithmetic operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

 

​PE

We have PE on Wednesdays and Fridays. Children to wear their PE kits to school on these days.

​

Forest School

We have Forest School on Thursday afternoons. Children to come in appropriate clothing and footwear.
