We begin the autumn term by thinking about ‘Holidays’. We find places on a map and use atlases to find countries, oceans and continents. We also identify physical and human features of the seaside. We read stories from ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’ series and design and make sandwiches linked to the Lighthouse Keeper’s lunch.
Before half-term we move onto our ‘Materials’ topic and investigate what different objects are made of, their properties and the suitability of their materials for each object’s different purposes. We also explore recycling and new inventions related to materials.
After half-term we begin our topics on ‘Remembrance’ and ‘Special Places’. We learn about WW1 and WW2 and the children enjoy finding out about the soldiers and their lives during those wars. We also include a trip to Coventry Cathedral to give the children a greater insight into the Christian religion, as well as discussing the impact on the community of the war-time bombing of the city’s cathedral. This topic culminates in our school remembrance service in Pughes’ Paddock.
We finish our term with Christmas activities and learning about incarnation and Christian beliefs. All of the children get an opportunity to take part in our nativities which they thoroughly enjoy.
