Autumn Term 1
School Theme: Divide & Conquer
Welcome back to school for the first half of our Autumn term in Key Stage One (KS1)! We are delighted to welcome all children and families back into school after the summer break – it has been wonderful to see everyone. Key Stage One staff and children are ready and excited to dive into our new school year and start our learning!
Our theme for this half term is ‘Divide & Conquer!’ As historians, we will be learning about what it is like to be a monarch. In particular we will look at Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth I and II. Our Art lessons will be taking inspiration from Paul Klee and the children will explore his work and theirs using a range of different media.
In our English lessons, we will be reading a selection of traditional tales and all of KS1 will be immersed in Drawing Club where we can really bring these stories to life through a magical mix of images and text. At the end of this half-term, we hope to hold a story-telling day where we'll take on the role of a chosen fairy tale character!
One of our '50 Things to do before we leave Thorpe' is to build an animal habitat and this ties in beautifully with our science work this half term where we are looking at where different animals may live.
We're going to make it a fantastic start to the year!
