Spring 1: what we will be learning

Adventure above and below the clouds

This half term we are going to be looking at exploring our natural world. We will be looking at different modes of transport, making our own junk model rockets, looking and making our own maps and why it is important to recycle.

Can you have a go and helping your parents sort and recycle at home? What goes in each bin? Choose a bin and draw what goes in it.

Our Author Visit

We loved having a real author come in and read us a story. The book was called Stuart the Wrestling Seal and it was was written by Janek Puzon. The children were all fabulous listeners and came up with some really good questions at the end of the session.
