This is a very exciting year as the children learn through a wide range of amazing topics. As they are the eldest in the school, the children are given the opportunity to take on many responsibilities. They apply for jobs and following a successful interview, become Assembly Monitors, Fruit Monitors, School Guides, School Gardeners or Playground Leaders.

Autumn term

Just wait until the Autumn Term when the children will learn about all sorts of Curious Creatures. We will be using the wonderful stories from Beatrix Potter to learn about British wildlife and habitats. Linking to the Whitestone mascot, they will also be learning about owls, both in the UK and the world. 

Spring term

In the Spring Term the children will become wordsmiths using the story George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl. They will create their own ceramic masterpiece to hold some very unusual marvellous medicines! The children also learn about chocolate and read the story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Then they will dive into History learning through drama, artefacts and books all about the amazing, ground breaking work of incredible nurses, Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.

Summer term

Then they learn all about castles and knights. Finally they will amaze everyone with a fantastic performance of....well just wait and see!
