Belonging & making a difference
We are excited to begin the Autumn Term with our theme: Belonging & Making a Difference. This enquiry will guide us as we explore how traditions, teamwork, and imagination help us to care for our local area and community. Through this theme, pupils will reflect on what it means to belong, and how small actions can make a big difference in the world around them.
Expressive Arts will be a key focus this term, with pupils studying the artist Helen Frankenthaler to inspire their own creative work. Alongside this, Humanities will take us into Edwardian history to link with our class text, exploring daily life, traditions, and how belonging has been shaped through time. In Science & Technology, pupils will carry out hands-on investigations such as testing paper aeroplanes and exploring materials as insulators, while building teamwork and problem-solving skills.
A special highlight of the term will be our class book, Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers. This enchanting story will spark creativity and imagination, encouraging learners to think about belonging, kindness, and how we can all make a positive difference in our community.
Physical Education remains an essential part of our curriculum, and PE lessons will take place every Tuesday. Please ensure students come prepared in their PE kits to participate in the dynamic activities planned.
Outdoor learning will continue to play an important role in our curriculum this term. It helps students connect with their learning in real-world contexts, enhances problem-solving skills, and supports emotional well-being. Whether exploring the science behind inventions or using nature as a source of inspiration, outdoor learning will be integrated across subjects to encourage resilience, confidence, and creativity.
We are excited about all the discoveries and learning that lie ahead this term. If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Here’s to a term filled with creativity, innovation, and growth!
