Let's Explore
In the Let’s Explore project, children will explore their class environment and school grounds so that they feel settled and happy in their new surroundings. They will learn about the local environment and find out about places they have visited on holiday. They will look at and create maps for journeys. They will learn about famous explorers and explore new vocabulary to describe items, using all of their 5 senses.

Long Ago
In the Long Ago project the children will learn about their history and how they have changed from when they were babies. They will learn about their family history and heritage and find out what life was like when their grandparents were children. They will learn about what it was like to go to school in the past and how everyday objects, such as clothes, toys and vehicles have changed. We will also focus on some well known fairy tales from long ago.
We will hold our first 'Stay and Play' session, where we will invite Grandparents in for the afternoon.
