For the autumn term our topic is:
Stone Age to Iron Age
Literacy: The Boy with the Bronze Axe
The Boy with the Bronze Axe is a children’s historical novel by Kathleen Fidler, set in the ancient Stone Age village of Skara Brae in Orkney. The story follows two children, Kali and Brockan, who are rescued from the tide by a mysterious boy named Tenko who arrives in a strange boat with a unique bronze axe. As Tenko’s advanced knowledge and ideas introduce conflict and suspicion, a deadly storm threatens the survival of the village, and the community must decide whether to trust the newcomer and his new ways.

This term our PE sessions will be on a Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Please ensure that children wear their PE kits to school. House colours if possible.
Forest school sessions will take place on a Wednesday. It is important that children have wellies in school to be able to join in Forest School sessions. It would be a great idea to keep them in lockers for the term.
