In Spanish we will be learning various greetings such as como te llamas and como estas.

Inquiry Based Learning

Our main inquiry focus this term is Places to Play, we will be exploring our local parks and designing our own parks that are inclusive to all. We will use our oracy skills to explain our likes and dislikes, building on the ideas of others and challenging our peers.

Outdoor Learning:

We will be participating in outdoor learning daily, regardless of adverse weather. Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing such as a waterproof coat, wellies, gloves and hat. Outdoor learning is essential for children to develop problem solving, risk management and resilience and is a fundamental pillar of our curriculum.
