The Rainbow Rooms
Room 1: Term 6
Our topic this term is Pirates and the beach. We will start the term by exploring the poem 'I wish I was I pirate' by Tony Bradman, we will enjoy listening to the sea shanty version and join in with the 'yo ho ho' chorus! We will then read 'Pirates love underpants' and use this story to help us explore treasure maps, we will also look at maps of our local area.
During the term, we will also explore the season of Summer and enjoy some visits to the beach. During our visits, we will explore the different areas of a beach and think carefully about seaside holidays now and how they may differ to seaside holidays in the past. We will also link our knowledge back to our habitat topic by exploring the different habitats found at the beach.
Our Christian value this term is Koinoia. We will listen to the Bible story, Jesus feeds the 5000! We will think about our own community, including our school community and community at home.
As the weather gets warmer, we will be hoping to spend longer time outside looking after our garden area and visiting the beach. Please ensure your child has a hat in school.
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.
