Term 3
Island Life
In Term 3 we will be using two fabulous books to help us with our learning about island life - Grandma Bird by Benji Davies and The Sea Swallow and the Humpback Whale by Catherine Barr. We will be using our DT skills to create structures and in Science we will be learning all about different materials, how they can be altered and what their properties are. In Art we will be looking at the works of Monet and creating our own stormy sea inspired paintings.

Dinosaur Detectives
In Term 2 our learning will be learning all about dinosaurs. We will be finding out all about these incredible creatures - what they looked like, what they ate and what the world was like when they were alive. We will be finding out about the life of Mary Anning - the palaeontologist who discovered some of the world's first full dinosaur skeletons! We are also very excited about rehearsing for our Nativity play Hey Ewe!

Vikings
In Term 1 our learning will be learning all about the Vikings. We will be finding out how this incredible group of people travelled across the sea, set up villages and communities and farmed the land. We will be having a live Skype call with the Jorvik Centre in York and enjoying a wow day to explore our project. We will be learning about Viking clothing and jewellery as well as the type of food they ate as well as exploring Viking longships and long houses.
