LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS HALF TERM:

Our main focus during the spring term will be Understanding of the World, which defines science, history and geography. The theme for our learning will be winter. Children will be given many opportunities to discover more about the surrounding environment, through first-hand experiences. Young children learn best from activities that are open-ended and allow for exploration. Being dressed appropriately will allow us to explore a frosty, icy or snowy day.

We will be taking part in the RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch, which will link nicely with how birds and animals survive the winter.

We will be finding out about cold places in the world, making comparisons between the landscape and life there and where we live. This will also lend itself to finding out about the impact of climate change on the environment and wildlife.

During the second part of the spring term, we will begin to discover more about seasonal changes as we learn about spring and new life. 

We will learn about Easter and how it is celebrated in the Christian church.
