Our Let's Connect event was a huge success! Across the Orchard pathway, we created an immersive Snow White experience which included a music room, an enchanted forest and a breakout sensory space. In Deers class, we created a space where children listened to the music from Snow White and played different musical instruments. See our wonderful photos below!

          

         

 

Autumn 2

Our topic for Autumn 2 is 'A Victorian Christmas'. We will be theming our learning weekly to learn about different aspects of Christmas, including the themes 'Christmas Tree', 'Queen Victoria' and 'Christmas Food'. Our learning will directly link to these themes to create an immersive learning environment involving all things Christmas! We will be working towards our whole school 'Let's Connect' event at the end of this half-term, which will be a Victorian Christmas Fayre!

We will continue to have swimming every Wednesday morning and PE every Friday morning. This half-term we will be focusing on Dance in PE; we will explore different genres of dance that were popular during the Victorian era, such as the Polka and the Viennese Waltz. Every other Tuesday morning, Andrina will take us to Forest School - keep an eye on our Class Dojo page as we will send reminders for the weeks that you need to bring kit. 

We had a wonderful Let's Connect event - our Victorian Christmas market transported all of us back in time! Look at our photos below! Deers staff dressed as chimney sweeps - look at us with Mary Poppins (Miss Guest)!

Autumn 1

This half term we will spend the first 2 weeks getting to know each other and our new environment and making new friends and relationships. For the remainder of the half term our topic is 'Painters'. We will explore this topic in many different ways - we will be painting using different tools, recognising colours, mixing colours and many more exciting activities. We will take a very practical and sensory approach to our topic, and will probably get a bit messy! We are working towards a whole-school goal of creating an art gallery as part of our Let's Connect week. We will be creating our own piece of art that will be displayed as part of the whole-school gallery. We will spend the half term practising our painting skills and developing our knowledge of colours that will help us create our final piece of art.

We will share what we have been up to on our Class Dojo page, so please join us there!

Here we are creating our canvases!
