Firstly, welcome back to
school after the 2 week break. We do hope that you all had a restful and
enjoyable time.
Our topic for this term is:
‘All dressed up - Clothes’. There is a particular focus this term on the
historical and geographical aspects of this theme.
The children will look at why
we wear clothes; what clothes people wear in different countries;
special/national costumes and how clothes have changed throughout history.
In science, we will
explore ‘Light & Dark’. The
children will learn that light is essential for seeing things; that when it is
dark other senses can be used to help us find and identify things; that
there are many sources of light; that
light sources vary in brightness and to observe and make comparisons of light
sources….
**We would like to begin the ‘Clothes’ topic next week
by asking that on Friday morning (17th January), the children come
to school in either of the following:
*national costume of some description (eg sari, Spanish
dress)
Or
*their favourite clothes
The children should be
prepared to talk about their clothes – colour, fabric, texture, patterns,
importance, traditions etcetera.
