Autumn 2023

Design and Technology
This term we looked at different types of structures and made newspaper towers and 3D cubes out of art straws and plasticene. Then we designed and made chairs out of lolly sticks and straws for a small toy to sit on. We then evaluated our work.
Science
In science, we have been looking at plants. We can now name common plants and trees like rose, sunflower, oak tree and silver birch tree. We also looked at the parts of a flower, reconstructing a rose and labelling the parts.
Numeracy
In numeracy, we have been looking at numbers to 10. We have used the words 'more than', 'fewer than', 'greater than' 'less than' and 'equal to'. We then learnt the symbols for these words using cubes and straws.
