Autumn Term
Autumn Term
This term we are looking at a range of subjects across the curriculum (see parent planner above).
We will be exploring Silly Billy by Anthony Browne, and Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett during our English writing and reading lessons to support our learning. We will be expanding our skills around retelling events and stories as well as developing our letter writing skills.
In Science we will be looking at habitats, linking our Meerkat Mail story to this and exploring how Meerkats live and what they need to survive. We will also be visiting ‘All Things Wild’ to meet the meerkats and find out more about them which will be super exciting! (more info to follow!). We will also be looking at plants.
In Art, we will be looking at Anthony Browne the Illustrator to help develop our knowledge of drawing skills. We will be looking at self portraits and drawing one of ourselves!
In DT, we will be looking at healthy eating, and what a balanced meal looks like. We will be looking at the Eat Well plate and the major food groups, as well as finding out where different foods are from. We will also be researching, designing and making our own healthy pizza! We will be taste testing pizza that already exists and then evaluating our thoughts on the different flavours.
During our PE lessons we will be practising our basic sport skills including throwing and catching, as well as developing our swimming skills, with weekly trips to the Evesham Leisure Centre.
