Our Curriculum 2023-2024

Autumn 1

Throughout our Bright Lights, Big City topic we are going to be learning all about London. We are going to be looking at the different parts of the UK in Geography and different materials in Science. As well as this, we are also going to be learning all about the Great Fire of London in History with an exciting visitor coming into school!

Medium Term Plan
Home Learning Grid

Key text:

Our key text this half term is called ‘Katie in London’.

When Katie and her brother Jack visit London with Grandma, something very unexpected happens…one of the Trafalgar Square lions come to life and takes them on a wonderful tour of all the best sights!

Hook:

Our Hook for Bright Lights, Big City is going to be a visitor coming into school to teach us all about the Great Fire of London! We will be building our own mini Pudding Lane, acting out the fire, playing games and looking at artefacts from the time.

Pictures coming soon!
