This half term we will be making the most of writing opportunities linked to the picture book called 'Seal Surfer' by Michael Foreman.

This half-term we will be learning about the Stone Age. We will be finding out about the 3 parts of the Stone Age and how people lived during this period of history. We will learn about diet, houses, communication and tools as well as key developments throughout the Stone Age.
We will learn about the landmarks Stonehenge and Skara Brae and what they tell us about Stone Age life.
Science
This half term we are learning about animals including humans. We will consider these key questions;
Why do we eat?
What is a balanced diet?
Why is a balanced diet important?
What is a skeleton?
Do all animals have a skeleton?
