Autumn 1 - Warriors of the World!
Welcome back to school for a brand new academic year. The first half of the Autumn term in Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2) is set to be a very exciting one! We have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming back our children and families after the school break and every class has already dived into their learning of our new topic and have settled extremely quickly in to our school life.
Our theme for this half term is 'Warriors of the World!' History leads this theme and, as historians, we will explore early civilisation and what life was like in the Stone Age. We will use primary and secondary sources to discover what people ate, how they gathered food and where they lived. Skara Brae, a Neolithic village, will allow use to enter the homes of these people and imagine what it would have been like The children are invited to celebrate all things Stone Age on Thursday 22nd October where they can dress as Stone Age person and we will live Stone Age life in school.
This half term we will be reading the exciting class novel, 'The Stolen Spear' by Saviour Pirotta. This exciting tale follows the adventures of Wolf, a young neolithic boy, and his dog Shadow. After discovering the missing spear from the Ancient Hunter, the pair embark of a dangerous voyage across the waters in search for the sacred spear.
In Art, we will explore cave art and how it was used to convey meaning. Children will develop their skills of colour mixing through using the primary colours to create secondary colours and then tertiary colours. They will also explore how to make browns and use tints and shades to develop a range of colours.
This half term we will introduce My Happy Mind. Here we will meet team HAP and explore the 3 parts of the team and their roles within our brains. We will discover what happens when we are sad, scared or in danger and what we can do to help our brain feel happy, safe and calm.
Our '50 Things' challenge for this half term is:
We are all set for a fantastic start to the year!
