Our whole school topic this term is ‘Let There be Peace on Earth’. Reception children will be exploring the question ‘What brings us peace?’ and we are looking forward to learning about how we can find peace and cooperate with others. Reception have shared lots of exciting ideas which we will use in our learning journey for a fun-filled Autumn term.

Through Expressive Arts, Health & Wellbeing, Humanities and Science & Technology we will be exploring our key question ‘What brings us peace?’.

Expressive Arts

We will be using a variety of appropriate tools and techniques to create a range of crafts and artwork which reflect on how we can be peaceful. Throughout our learning journey we will learn how different styles of dancing and music can help us become peaceful. 

Science and Technology

Through STEM opportunities we will be experimenting with different materials. We will be challenging ourselves by using a variety of materials to create structures. We will use technology to enhance our learning and produce work using various apps and multi-media.

Health and Wellbeing

Throughout the exploration of peace, we will start to understand our emotions and how they affect us and those around us. We will be learning about the importance of friendship and helping others.

Humanities

We will be learning about different religions and cultures, including Christianity to discover how people find peace through their religion. We will be reading different bible stories such as ‘The Creation Story’.
