 Autumn Term

December

During History this half term, we have been learning about the Stone Age. We had a fun-filled afternoon creating Stone Age art paintings. The children learnt about the importance of cave paintings and used watercolours to create their own. We now can't wait for our Stone Age afternoon!

November

We 'lava-ed' our most recent Science unit, where we learned about different types of rocks and how they are formed. We ended the unit by taking our learning outside, into our courtyard area. We investigated the soil that was in the planters, as well as looking at different types of soil. From this, we set up an investigation to see what happens to soil when water is added.

October

We've had such a fantastic half term and we have been up to so many different things.

Our unit in Science was our 'Animals including Humans' unit and we learned all about the different food groups and how much of each food group we need to eat. We then had a task of creating a pizza that contained several food groups.
