Autumn

Towers, Tunnels and Turrets.

Climbing the battlements or tunnelling in the ground, there’s a whole world of adventure and fun to be found!

This term, we will visit a real castle to explore the towers, battlements and maybe a secret tunnel or two! We’ll learn all about the different parts of a castle and describe how they have changed over time. Using a wide range of materials, we’ll build models of castles and test the strength of our structures. We’ll learn the stories of Rapunzel, The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy Goats Gruff and create models inspired by them. Maps and photographs will help us learn about the tallest buildings and the longest tunnels in the world. We’ll find out about the amazing Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and improve our PE skills by playing attacking and defending games.

At the end of our project, we’ll have so much to share! We’ll display our amazing structures and share our knowledge in a special question and answer session.

We will be carrying out all our usually daily activities, e.g. Read Write Inc, numeracy skills.  Reading activities are carried out everyday.

Please can you ensure that your child has their PE kits with them in school everyday as pupils join their peers for PE on various days.   PE. kits will be sent home at the end of each term. 

The cost of fruit is 25p per day, please pay on Squid.    We ask for a contribution of £5.00 per term towards snacks and cooking. 

Remember we have an open door policy, please pop in and see me if you have any questions.   Thank you for your continued support.
