Let’s Explore is our topic focus this term. During the first half-term, we will identify the habitats of all creatures great and small as we hunt for insects in our school woodland then compare this environment to wider habitats across the globe. In the second half of the term, we will be exploring costal regions of the UK and beyond. We will compare these locations to our local area and be visited by a RNLI volunteer to understand how to stay safe at the seaside.
