Autumn Term

We have Knowledge Organisers for each topic that give key information and pictures to help us learn.

Science updates:

The children have very much enjoyed exploring rocks so far this half term.

They have thought about the rocks they can see in their environment and explored the features of some of these. They then went on to exploring how they might group these according to the features that they had spotted, before learning about the three major rock groups.

This week the children have explored how hard different rocks are, their ability to float or sink and which rocks are most impacted by weathering. The children showed real intrigue and excitement for their scientific enquiry skills.

History updates:

The children have worked hard to understand the concept of AD and BC and how their own lives fit in to this. They have thought hard about how long ago this means the Stone Age was and how different it was from today. Over time, the different periods of the Stone Age and the differences within them are becoming clearer to the children too. They have also enjoyed exploring how far the Stone Age people travelled as well as coming to a good understanding of how we know this and the different roles involved in this process.
