This half term we are exploring the question Can you survive in the woods? We will be exploring a variety of traditional fairy tales, in particular Little Red Riding Hood. The children will then write their own twisted version of Little Red Riding Hood from the Wolf’s point of view. We will be designing waterproof shelters, building and evaluating their effectiveness. We will also be going on a nature walk in our local community (Gorse Hall) and printing with leaves to create decorative patterns and works of art that capture the beauty of nature. In Science we will be revisiting our topic ‘Animals including humans and we will be looking at the importance of exercise, personal hygiene, balanced diets and what humans and animals need to SURVIVE. We will be making puppets in design and technology and using these in drama activities.
