This term, we are excited to begin a new topic all about the United Kingdom! The children will be learning about the four countries that make up the UK – England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland – along with their capital cities. We’ll also be exploring the seas that surround our islands, helping the children build a sense of geography in a fun and age-appropriate way. Through stories, maps, and creative activities, we aim to spark their curiosity and help them begin to understand the world around them. We’re looking forward to an exciting journey of discovery!

This term in Science, we will be learning all about seasonal changes. The children will explore how the weather, daylight, and nature change throughout the year, between autumn, winter, spring and summer. We’ll be going on observing changes in the environment, and discussing how these changes affect animals, plants, and even what we wear! This topic helps children begin to notice patterns in the world around them and builds their understanding of the natural world.

In Art this term, the children will be creating their own self-portraits! This is a wonderful opportunity for them to look closely at their own features and begin to express themselves through drawing. We’ll be using mirrors to help observe details like eye colour, hair shape, and facial expressions, and experimenting with different materials to bring their portraits to life. This activity helps develop both fine motor skills and self-awareness, while encouraging creativity and confidence. We can’t wait to see their unique personalities shine through their artwork!
