At the start of the Autumn term, our children concentrate on PSHE, discussing the school rules and looking at emotions. Linked in with their creative arts lessons they created their own monster, following their discussions with the ‘Colour Worry Monster’

Later in the term, they expanded on their use of natural resources, learning about Andy Goldsworthy; a Britsh artist who uses natural materials to create scultpures. They created their own pieces of art, including trees, faces and abstract designs!

As part of the Jewish celebrations during the Autumn term, our children learnt about Sukkot and the huts that get constructed for the week long festival. Linking in to their creative arts they were able to design and make their own Sukkah using natural resources from outside.

At the start of a new academic year, our children take time getting to know their new class, teacher and change in learning. Our Year 1s participated in PSHE lessons meeting Jigsaw Jack, joined in with role playing the Scarecrows Wedding, and being Betty & Reginald, went to the local church for Remembrance, sorted animals into groups and wrote about their activities… just a small selection to look back on.

At the start of the Autumn term our children learnt about how their food and drink is produced. As part of their learning, they tasted different types or milk and cheese, as well as fruit and smoothies. Yum!
