Knowledge and Understanding of the World:

History- Children will look back on their own past lives and recall events before starting school. When learning about Baptism in RE, we will look at photographs from when we were babies and how we have changed. The school focus in history this term is Law and Order. As we learn about people who help us, we will explore how police now and in the past helped maintain the law.

Geography- As we work through our topic, "People who help us", we will invite children to bring in photographs of their parents in their working environment and find out how they help others. We will also look at the occupations of those in the local environment and those further away. Joseph Bear, our friendly class bear will be used as a way of finding out about different locations as he goes on journeys to local places, to places in different parts of the UK and around the world. We will look at natural and human features in the local environment and those seen on our journeys. 

Science- Seasonal changes will be explored as summer ends and Autumn begins. We will search the school grounds for signs of autumn and observe and discuss changes in the weather.

Expressive Arts and Design:  Children will produce line drawings of their families and themselves. There will be lots of opportunities for mixing different shades of colours and mixing new colours using prime colours. Within the creative area, children will be taught the correct way to hold and use scissors for cutting and a range of tools and techniques for joining materials. Staff will model role play and play with the children to inspire and extend their imaginations.
