Past and Present
The children will learn how to compare and contrast characters from stories, including figures from the past.
Example of this in action:
- One of our class texts is ‘’Coming to England’’ by Floella Benjamin. Through this book the children will explore the Windrush Generation and how people’s lives in Trinidad are different from their own.
People, Cultures and Communities
Understand that some places are special to members of their community. Recognise that people have different beliefs and celebrate different times in different ways.
Example of this in action:
- During this term, the children will have the opportunity to explore Chinese culture and compare how it differs from their own. They will also learn about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated.
The Natural World
Describe what they see, hear and feel whilst outside. Understand the effect of changing seasons on the natural world around them. Recognise some environments that are different to the one in which they live.
Example of this in action:
- The children will be provided with various fruits and vegetables for them to explore using their senses. They will be encouraged to look, smell, touch and taste the items. Time will be given for them to discuss their preferences as they explore the fruits and vegetables. Vocabulary will be introduced, such as rough, smooth, hairy, slimy, shiny, sweet, sour, juicy, crunchy, soft and hard.
