Our topic in this Autumn term is
'I can be a Super Scientist!'

 During this topic we will explore the human body and our senses. We will go on a magical journey, participating in exciting experiments using all of our senses whilst also learning lots of new vocabulary and exploring using our very own senses. 
Our educational visits will allow us to enhance our learning and allow us to apply and expand on our learning. We will be visiting different places of interest linking to our topics throughout the term.
 
Please find below, some useful resources to support any home learning. These videos and activities are some examples of what we will be covering in class over the term.
