WAU

Our topic is ‘Raiders of the Lost Tomb’, focusing on the Ancient Egyptians. The children will be developing knowledge and skills in various areas of the curriculum – in art we will be creating silhouette desert landscapes featuring the Egyptian pyramids, Ancient Egyptian headdresses, as well as creating our own papyrus. The children will be using ICT skills to research facts about life in Ancient Egypt. Outdoor learning will take place where appropriate.  

PATHS

We will be thinking about different feelings. We will recognise and celebrate each child’s unique personality through our daily ‘Pupil of the Day’.  

PE

Children will participate in weekly PE lessons, with our focus on Gymnastics this term. We will also partake in Swimming lessons too.
