Spring Term 2025

Let’s Explore!

Big Question: How can we help?

Narrative:

Within this theme, learners will develop an understanding of their responsibility as citizens and the Wider World, and the importance of creating a sustainable future. Learners will be encouraged to be active, informed and responsible citizens who can contribute to their communities. Learners will tale opportunities for social and sustainable action, enabling them to create meaning and purpose in their own lives.

This term our children will learn about living things around us. We will talk about how the children look after things around them and will develop their communication skills and collaborative skills.

Using our inquiry skills and visits with the school nurse, learners will work collaboratively to think of ways to look after living things and apply these to their everyday lives. We will learn about similarities and differences. We will celebrate how we can look after our planet. Stewardship.

Rights of the Child:

Article 12: I have the right my opinion and for adults to listen and take it seriously.

Article 13: I have the right to find out things and share my ideas with others by drawing, talking and writing.
