The children loved listening to this story in Literacy. They created some wonderful drawings and explained the story well and even come up with new ideas for another story.
The Season of Autumn
Map it out
One of our topics this term has been maps and focussing in on our local area. We started off by talking about the universe and the children drew some unique interpretations of what they think the universe looks like using pastels. We then focussed in on the country we live in and more specifically our local area, Datchet. The children drew a map of where they live and explained how they could get from school to their house. Next, we spoke about our families and who lived with us. The children drew who lived with them and spoke about what their house looks like.
