During Autumn we will be getting to know our classrooms, making new friends and learning our school routines.

Our topics this term will be:

• 'All About Me'. We will explore different families, learn about their emotions and how they may feel in different situations.
• 'Traditional Tales'. We will immerse the children in a range of fantastic stories, exploring them through role play, language and pictures.
• 'Celebrations'. This gives the children the opportunity to explore a range of celebrations from around the world such as Harvest, Hanukkah, Diwali, Bonfire Night and the Christmas story.

If you have any questions please feel free to speak to a member of staff or you can email us at
