Spring 1: Where in the world...?

This half term we will explore  the world by land, sea and air, through the medium of transport. Foundation 1 will begin their learning journey  through the text 'Naughty Bus.' Foundation 2 will begin with 'The Train Ride.'

We will be geographers, comparing different terrains. We will be historians looking at transport now and in the past,  noting similarities and differences We will also be planners, designers and makers, creating our own unique modes of transport. For a short half term we really do have a whole lot of exciting learning  in store. Don't forget you can keep abreast of the learning your child  will be engaging in by  taking a look at our ' subject planners' under the information heading.

Remember, you can share your child's 'out of school' experiences with us via our class email address. F1@lawnspark.org.uk. We really do appreciate these contributions; it is wonderful to see

your children proudly sharing these memories/achievements with their friends and teachers.

Join us on another fabulous half term of learning fun.

Your child will be familiar and confident with this book, having read it at least three times with an adult in school. Please share this book with your child and make a comment in their reading diary.  You may also record and comment on any other books you may have shared at home.   At Lawns Park we encourage all our parents and carers to read at least three times at home with their child.
