P4 - Hey! Hey! Look at me!

5th Dec 2016

What are we learning about in term one:

This term our theme is ‘Hey! Hey! Look at Me!’. We will learn about our bodies, how to be healthy and safe. We will discuss the importance of our feelings and the best ways to express ourselves. We will also take time to learn about our past, our families and our local community. Our theme allows us to look at similarities and differences between ourselves and others.

Our themes are always very interesting and we learn through visitors, trips, ICT and reading, just to mention a few.
