Exploration
We take our learning to a whole world perspective, as we learn about the seven continents and five oceans. We learn how to create three dimensional, water-themed, sculptures in Art.
Quality Text: A River
We read ‘A River’ – a delightful picture book that follows a young girl’s imagination as she transports herself through varying settings. Through this circular story, we learn how to create a journey narrative that ends where it started. We relate this circular story to Stickman, which we explore in Year 1
