The Rainbow Rooms
Room 1: Term 6
As last term flew by so quickly, we are continuing with our garden topic for 2 weeks. We will be exploring minibeasts, learning about the hungry caterpillar and learning to perform a minibeast poem! We will continue to explore habitats by looking at microhabitats and make a minibeast hotel for our outdoor area.
For the remaining 5 weeks of the term, we will enjoy exploring seaside and summer! Our key questions are 'How have seaside holidays changed?' and 'What can we find, under the sea?'
We will compare seaside holidays from the past and the present.
We will also enjoy learning all about the different seaside habitats and seaside creatures and will visit the Hastings aquarium to see the animals that we learn about!
Our Christian value this term is Koinonia - learning about our community. We will listen to the Bible story, 'The miracles of Jesus' where Jesus helped the community by feeding 5000 people with fishes and bread.
We will continue to cook once a week and forest school will continue on a Friday afternoon. We will be visiting 1066 gymnastics once a week for our PE.
Room 2: Term 6
This term the children will be learning about the Rainforests. We will explore what makes them special habitats and why they are important to life on earth. We will think about what we can do to help protect the rainforests. In English we will be reading the book 'The Great Kapok Tree!' by Lynne Cherry.
In Science we are studying biology and looking at plants. The children will learn the names of the features of a plant and what their functions are. We will also have a go at growing our own plants in the classroom.
We will also be visiting Cabaret Mechanical Theatre in Hastings where children will have the chance to interact with automata sculptures as well as make their own.
The children had a fantastic time at Cabaret Mechanical Theatre. They loved interacting with the automata and then got to make their own running character. Watch the video below to see them in action.
