Spring Term 2 - Building our Future
Welcome back to school for an exciting 2nd half of our Spring term! We cannot wait to immerse ourselves into our new school theme ‘Building Our Future’ where we will be young scientists exploring the properties, strengths and weaknesses of different materials.
Continuing our love of reading in KS1, we will be reading a range of traditional tales based around The Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf. We will be retelling the traditional version whilst having fun and being creative as we write our own versions with a twist: The Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig. We may even have a mysterious visitor or two!
As young designers and engineers, we will design, plan and build sturdy free-standing structures with the hope that they will withstand the big bad wolf's huffing and puffing! We will explore joining techniques and critically analyse the strength or them and where they could be useful in our structures.
This half term we will also hold an exciting Little Pigs and Big Bad Wolves day to celebrate our topic.

Spring Term 1- Time Travel
Happy New Year and welcome back to school for an exciting first half term of our Spring term. We cannot wait to immerse ourselves into our new school theme 'Time Travel' where we will be young historians exploring the significant life of paleontologist Mary Anning in our British history.
We love reading in KS1 and cannot wait to dive into our new class book Dinosaur Diary by Julia Donaldson. This fictional book sees the main character Hypsilophodon time travel through a portal from the dinosaur era to a farm where she faces lots of challenges in the modern world.
