Curriculum - Autumn Term 2023
This term, we are travelling back to prehistoric times, where we will be learning about the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Our learning will take us on a journey to incredible places such as Stonehenge and Skara Brae where we will discover how Stone Age people lived. We will be exploring how people used land and about their daily life. In Science, we will discover how rocks and fossils are formed, the permeability of soil and about the marvellous Mary Anning. We will be using our Stone Age learning to support our Reading and Writing lessons too. In Art, we will be finding out about the original cave art paintings and having a go at doing some of our own too! We look forward to bringing our learning to life in our visit to Tanglewood early in the term. Our Maths learning will focus on Place value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division.
Can you imagine a world without chocolate? We can't! We will be discovering about where chocolate comes from, how it is made and becoming real-life chocolatiers in the classroom. In addition to this, we will be visiting Cadbury World where we will learn about how chocolate makes it from bean to bar. In design and technology, we will be inspired to make our own chocolate packaging ensuring it is fit for the purpose. Our Geography lessons see us study South America, looking at Brazil and the Amazon rainforest in more detail and comparing these with life in the UK.
It's going to be a busy but enjoyable term and we look forward to inviting you in to celebrate our wonderful children's learning!
