In Science, we will be learning about animals, exploring different types and their characteristics.

Our History topic this half term is ‘The Great Fire of London’, where we will learn about this significant event from the past.

In PSHE, we will be focusing on looking after each other and the world around us, encouraging kindness, responsibility, and respect.

In Art, children will be developing their creativity through weaving, exploring different materials and techniques.
