Autumn Term 1 2026

Chestnut class has had a terrific start to the year. The children love to share and contribute their efforts, and it is a joy to see them settle in and learn together. 

We have been learning about the Stone Age to the Iron Age within our History and English topics this term. This included learning 'How to wash a woolly mammoth" as well as time travelling through the tale 'Stone Age Boy'. 

In Art, we have been focusing on drawing and creating autumnal versions of Kandinsky’s Concentric Circles by replacing circles with pumpkins!

In Maths, we have been focusing heavily on place value as well as addition and subtraction. 

In Science, we have learnt all about endoskeletons, exoskeletons and hydrostatic skeletons!

In RE, we've explored the importance of saving others by following in the footsteps of Jesus. 

We have loved using our glockenspiels during our music lessons and have been working hard on our performance skills.

During our PSHE lessons, the children have offered empathetic and thoughtful contributions. They are able to reflect on different scenarios and work together through different dilemmas.
