During this half term we will be recalling the events in the Christmas story and providing the children with time to reflect on the birth of Jesus.

Our topic for this half-term is ... Misty Mountain Sierra!
We’ll find out where the highest mountains are, learn how to use a compass and make 3-D mountain models. Inspired by the magnificent mountains of the world, we’ll complete graphs showing heights, and look at webcam and satellite images.
