Autumn Term

 

As we transition into Year One we will be extending our learning through play. In our classroom we have llots of areas of provision linked to our curriculum and the interests of the children. 

We have loved using junk modelling to build robots and create machines, we are beginning to use a variety of tools to extend the design of our products even more! 

Science History Geography Art  RE PSHE

Our science topic in Autumn term is 'my body'

We will be looking at the parts of the body we can see, labelling them and knowing what they do for us. This includes linking the correct part of the body to the correct sense. We will be playing lots of games using our senses to find out just how important they are and discuss which one we feel is the most important. 

We will also look at how to keep our mind and body healthy through what we eat, exercise and sleep.

Our history topic is 'buildings in Peterlee'. 

 

We will be looking at the mining village of Peterlee and how it changed and adapted to become the town that it is today. We will investigate what houses used to look like, what the streets and neighboring villages may have looked like and how they have changed over time. 

We will be beginning to use a timeline to plot events.

Our geography topic is Peterlee.

 

We will be able to locate Peterlee on a map and know the landforms within it including the woodland / forests and the coastline. We will be able to name the water bodies around Peterlee including the Castle Eden Burn / stream and the North Sea.

 In ourt we will be looking at portraits and collages. We will use a visual stimulus to create a portrait collage of ourselves using a variety of mediums. 

RE gives us the opportunity to explore the beliefs of different faiths. 

Our topic begins in Autumn with Christianity and finding out why the Bible is special to Christians. We will explore how and why they use the Bible as well as where they might find a Bible in their place of worship. 

We begin Year One with two very important topics in our PSHE lesson; Safety First, VIPS.

 

It is essential that we know how to keep ourselves and those around us safe as well as knowing who are trusted adults are and how they can be a duty bearer for our right to be safe. 

 

Our books for this term are ... (Class novels, Topic, No Outsiders etc)
