Autumn Term 2023

The topic this term is ‘Animal Magic!’ we will use a variety of methods (e.g. maps, Google earth, globes and internet research) to find out about animals and zoos all over the world. We will explore the climate in different places and learn that animals’ physical appearance reflects their habitat. We will learn the seven continents of the world. In history, we will learn who Florence Nightingale is and why she is remembered today. In Music, we will be listening to Classical music with a focus on dynamics and tempo. In art, we will look at famous artists such as Henri Rousseau, Franz Marc and Pablo Picasso. In Design Technology, we will explore moving books and will design, make and evaluate our own animal themed book. The children will regularly use computers and will learn how to stay safe when using the internet. To  enhance the children’s learning, we plan to visit Chester Zoo.
