Parent Overview - Autumn 1

Geography Knowledge Organiser

History Knowledge Organiser

To start off our geography, Kestrels looked at using a compass. We went out onto the playground and gave each other directions that had to be followed using the compass.

Part of our PE learning for the term focussed on dance. This term, we looked at ‘The Greatest Showman’ and practiced different elements of dance routines linking to circus performers. There was also an opportunity for some ‘Word Tennis’ to support with our vocabulary in our writing. As well as this, we engaged in European Languages day, with on a focus on Spanish: we studied the country of Spain and then created our own dream paella dishes. Finally, our we created some art work based around the work of Vincent van Gogh, using skills of ‘tonking’ and ‘impasto’ to create different painting textures.
