This half term Year 1 are asking the question 'Why was London burning?'.

We will be learning about the Great Fire of London and what caused the fire to burn for so long. We will be comparing what happened to what it would be like today to see how things have changed.

In DT we will be building our own Tudor houses and burning them down in our own great fire.

In Y1 our learning journey question for the first half term is "What's the story with toys?". We will be looking at toys from the past and comparing them to toys that we play with today.

We will be looking at different materials and what they are used for before choosing the best material to build our own toy cars from in DT. We are taking inspiration from the film Toy Story and the characters are helping us with our English and Maths learning. In English we are writing some brilliant independent sentences about Woody, Jessie and Buzz!

We hope you can join us at our final destination to celebrate our learning this half term in the final week of term.
