Autumn Term 2026 | Tymor yr Hydref 2026

Shaping Our Future: Planet, People and Communities

Autumn Term's 'Big Question'... | ‘Cwestiwn Mawr’ Tymor yr Hydref…

‘How do natural changes and human actions shape our world, and what choices can we make to create a better future?'

During the Autumn Term learners will explore the ways in which our planet is constantly changing, including natural processes, environmental change and the impact of human activity. They will investigate issues such as climate change, sustainability and the use of resources, considering how the choices people make can affect both the environment and future generations.

Our learning will have a strong connection to our local area and wider world. Learners will explore how communities change and develop, investigate how people interact with their environments and consider what makes a community sustainable and resilient. They will have opportunities to use their own surroundings as a starting point for enquiry, observation and discussion.

Science and Technology will provide opportunities for learners to investigate energy, materials and environmental processes, while developing their ability to question, predict, test and draw conclusions. They will also explore how technology can be used to understand problems and develop solutions for the future.

Learners will use their creativity to communicate their ideas about a changing world. Through Expressive Arts, they will explore how artists and writers can respond to environmental and social issues, developing their own creative responses. In Literacy, our class novel, The Explorer by Katherine Rundell, will provide inspiration for reading and discussion.

Digital skills will be developed throughout the term, with learners using technology to research, communicate, create and solve problems. They will also have opportunities to think critically about the role technology can play in shaping our future.

Our theme will culminate in learners thinking creatively about the future and considering what our communities and world could look like if we make positive choices today. They will be encouraged to share their ideas, work collaboratively and recognise that even small choices can contribute to meaningful change.

Outdoor learning will continue to be an important part of our curriculum. Learners will have opportunities to explore, investigate and learn in real-world environments, developing resilience, independence, problem-solving skills and a deeper connection with the world around them.

Physical Education remains an important part of our curriculum, with PE lessons taking place every (TBC). Please ensure learners come prepared with their PE kits so that they can fully participate in the activities planned.

We are looking forward to an exciting term of questioning, investigating, creating and imagining the future, as our learners consider the role they can play in shaping a better world.
