Our learning this half term:

This half-term our topic focus is Why do things change? this is a topic with a History focus on toys over the last 50 years. We will be learning about toys in the past and  comparing them with the toys we have today.

In Science this half-term we are learning all about animals. We will be looking at different animal groups, and categorising them by the things they eat.

Our DT focus is making a moving monster and learning how things move using linkages, pivots and levers.
