Term 1 - Exploring Autumn
Our topic in term one is 'All About Me'. In the this project, your child will learn about what makes them special, how they are different and unique from their friends, and create a range of art projects showcasing this.
We will then move on to the Exploring Autumn project, where your child will go on a playground walk to learn about the seasonal changes that happen in autumn. They will learn about how nature and wildlife is affecting by seasonal changes, and what they will do to survive and grow throughout Autumn. They will take part in practical and creative activities that will support them to learn about autumn.
