Our topic this term is: Amazing Me
Science
In science we will be using our super scientist skills to observe closely, use simple equipment, identify and classify, and gather and record data to help in answering questions. We will be identifying, naming, drawing and labelling the parts of the human body, and we will be learning about which part of the body is associated with each sense.
To enhance our learning in science we have an exciting trip planned to Eureka in Halifax. The 'All About Me' gallery will provide an opportunity for children to discover just how amazing and unique they are and how and why they should try to keep their bodies as healthy as possible. Click on the link below to find out more about Eureka.
English
We are going to be reading and writing about two books by the wonderful author Rob Biddulph. The first is Odd Dog Out, which is all about fitting in and standing out from the crowd. The second is Dog Gone, which is all about not judging others on their appearance. We will also enjoy other books by Rob Biddulph including Blown Away, Show and Tell and Grrrrr!

Geography
In Geography this term we will be learning all about the UK and the weather.

We will be identifying seasonal and daily weather patterns in the UK, and the location of hot and cold areas around the world. We will be learning all of this whilst using our geographical skills, including first-hand observation, to enhance our locational awareness. We will be using simple fieldwork and observational skills in our school, its grounds and surroundings and using and constructing basic symbols in a key.
