Science

Our science topic for these next two terms will be Plants and their structures and Animals including humans.  We will be planting our own seeds to see how they grow throughout the term.  We will be investigating different plants and using our observational skills.  

We will also be observing how the seasons change throughout the year, using the large tree on the playground, to observe it's leaves and how it changes as the seasons change.

The children will be making their own weather stations, they will record their results and compair their results with others.

First we will be looking at what makes us feel safe, both in school and the wider community.  We will build on this to how we can take responsibility for our actions and what consequences mean.  We will focus on what makes us proud and how we can have a positive impact in our school and community.
