The Rainbow Rooms
Room 1: Term 2
Our topic this term is 'Celebrations and festivals!' We will explore how different events are celebrated such as; bonfire night, Diwali, birthdays and Christmas. We will find similarities and differences between the different celebrations and reflect upon the different traditions. We will explore light and dark and find out how many festivals include light such as fireworks or candles.
Our Christian value this term is Forgiveness. We will listen to the Bible story, Joseph and his colourful coat. We will learn about how Joseph forgave his brothers and will reflect upon how forgiveness can positively impact our emotions.
We will continue to cook once a week and forest school will continue on a Friday afternoon. PE and 1066 gymnastics will be on a Tuesday afternoon.

Room 2: Term 2
This term we will be embracing the shorter days by learning about Light and Dark in Science and exploring space in our topic work. Children will learn about the Solar System, how the Earth orbits the sun and explore the history of space travel. In English we will be reading the book 'Orion and the Dark' by Emma Yarlett. We will explore the books theme of fear and thinking about how we can support each other with our fears. We will then start to feel festive by reading and exploring 'The Grumpus' by Alex T Smith, a story where a grumpy monster learns to love Christmas as much as he loves Brussel Sprouts.
We are extremely happy to welcome Lifesize to the Rainbow Room this term. They will be doing some music sessions withthe children in both rooms and we can't wait to see and hear what they come up with.
