As part of the story ‘Pattan’s Pumpkin’, being read throughout the Autumn term, the children took it in turns to Hot Seat within their groups.

During the Autumn term our Year 2 children experimented with various movements to coincide with the Great Chariots of Fire and Storm music…

At the start of the Autumn term, our children concentrate on PSHE, discussing the school rules and looking at emotions. Linked in with their creative arts lessons they created their own monster, following their discussions with the ‘Colour Worry Monster’

Later in the term, they expanded on their use of natural resources, learning about Andy Goldsworthy; a Britsh artist who uses natural materials to create scultpures. They created their own pieces of art, including trees, faces and abstract designs!

As part of the Jewish celebrations during the Autumn term, our children learnt about Sukkot and the huts that get constructed for the week long festival. Linking in to their creative arts they were able to design and make their own Sukkah using natural resources from outside.
