Our Christian value this term is ‘Justice.’
Justice means giving all people what it is right and fair for them to have: life, health, freedom and dignity.
It is about acting out of a concern for what is right.
When we think about justice, we also think about the British Value of Tolerance and Mutual Respect and Democracy.
Deuteronomy 16:20: Follow justice and justice alone.
This term, the children will be blasting off into an exciting space-themed adventure, inspired by The Smeds and the Smoos and a range of other wonderful stories. Their learning will be filled with imagination, exploration and discovery as they journey beyond our world!
To begin the term, the children will explore themes of difference and tolerance, learning that we are all unique and special in our own ways. They will also learn about the celebration of Eid and how it is celebrated by Muslims around the world.
As the term continues, the children will dive deeper into the world of space. They will learn about the moon landing, the solar system and what it might be like to travel into space. Through a range of creative activities, the children will design and build rockets, create space-themed artwork inspired by artists, and even make their own space suits for toys!
The children will also take part in a very special planetarium experience, where they will explore the wonders of space in an immersive and engaging way.
Throughout the term, there will be lots of opportunities for imaginative play, including space role play, building rockets, and even going on a picnic… on the moon! The children will continue to develop their maths skills through practical activities such as counting “moon rocks” and solving space-themed problems.
We will also be focusing on important life skills such as road safety and keeping safe, helping the children to make sensible choices both in and out of school.
It’s set to be a fantastic term full of creativity, curiosity and cosmic adventures!
