Autumn Term 2025 |
|
We have had a very exciting term and learnt lots of new skills. |
English – Curious Quest

ScienceOur first science topic was ‘Ourselves and other Animals’. We started by identifying parts of the human body. |
 |
 |
|
|
|
 |
 |
We had great fun experimenting with our senses to find out if we could identify smells and tastes using only one sense at a time.
We also looked at the similarities and differences between a wide range of animals and learnt about the characteristics of different groups. We then used this knowledge to sort animals.
Autumn walkAs part of our knowledge harvest about Seasons and Our Local Area, we took a walk to Milton park to embed our oracy and understanding of these concepts in Science and Geography. We had a wonderful time making autumn leaf caterpillar crafts, and we even spotted a friendly Squirrel! |

 |
Journey to the moonWe were all very excited to learn about the space explorer Neil Armstrong. We wrote questions for him and found out lots of information about his achievements. In DT we found out about how to join materials in different ways. We then used these skills to make our own rockets. |

Making a waterproof coat
As part of our topic on materials we were given the challenge of making a coat to keep a teddy dry.
First we had to test different materials and then decide which would be best for the coat.
Then we worked together like the Together Twins and made, tested and evaluated the coat.

Christmas Technology
In December, we learned lots of strategies of making a mechanism that can move.
We then used our skills to make a range of Christmas-related pictures.
We were amazed of what we achieved!
