Autumn 2

This half-term we are looking at animals including humans. In science lessons, we are learning about skeletons and muscles and how they help us and other animals move. We are also learning about different food groups and understanding how we need different nutrients to stay healthy.

Story Writing- The Manor House

We have just finished learning the story of ‘The Manor House’. Your child should be an expert at re-telling this story now. Use the story map below to see if your child can tell story:

We are cooking this half-term and will be thinking about what makes a healthy, balanced meal. We will be creating dishes that have a range of food groups that (we hope) will be both nutritious and delicious!

Over the past couple of weeks we have cooked healthy pizzas, couscous salads and rice salads. The children chose ingredients from all food groups and worked as a team to create delicious additions to their repertoire of dishes.

Chysauster Ancient Village-Autumn 1

This week the class spent a morning exploring the ancient village of Chysauster. We imagined what life would have been like for the small community during the Iron Age and how that changed during the Romano-British period.

The children applied their knowledge of prehistory to try and imagine what would have been in the rooms of the ancient ruins.
