Summer 1

‘Home Sweet Home’

Get ready for an action-packed half term! We are kicking things off with our thrilling ‘Home Sweet Home’ theme, and what better way to start than with an adventurous scavenger hunt around Woodhouse? The children will be on the lookout for all sorts of different houses, ticking them off their lists as they go. This half term we will also journey back in time to explore the incredible Stone Age and the fascinating Victorian Times through some exciting books such as ‘Dave’s Cave’ and ‘Peepo.’ This will give the children chance to really understand how life has evolved. Towards the end of the half term, we will be taking a trip around the world, discovering how different countries live and what makes them unique and different. We will also have a focus on seasonal changes this half term and explore the differences and similarities between winter and spring. We will be planting our own flowers and conducting experiments on the different factors that help plants to grow.
