Our Autumn Curriculum overview.

Connected Curriculum: The focus of this term is PSHE. Children will broaden their view on living in the wider world, increase their understanding of belonging to a community, and to gauge the importance of money and work. The children will also be learning about the importance of protecting and preserving the environment.

In order link these themes, the children will be constructing a wildlife garden at the back of the school and coming up with numerous ways that we can raise money to complete this project.

The children will be encouraged to write persuasively to persuade our Head Teacher to allow the project to go ahead. They will also write instructions on how to bake cakes to raise money for our garden project and explain the life cycle of the creatures living in our garden.
