Monkeys Termly Outline - Spring 2025

What we are learning about this term...

This term we are settling into Year 1. We still have learning play like we did in Reception but we will be doing more adult directed and independent learning. 

This term our topic is the 'Changes within Living Memory'. We will be learning about the past and comparing it to what we have now.  

We are also learning about animals in science. We will be learning about the different types of animals and how to classify them. We will also learn about humans, in particular body parts and the senses.

Naughty Bus

We have been listening to the story 'Naughty Bus'. We shared our knowledge on buses and practised retelling the story. We were excited when we got given our own gift of a bus like in the story but the bus has started to behave like the bus in the story...

Animal Visit

To link to our science learning on animals, Miss Warland brought in a selection of her pets. We got to see and learn about rats, snakes, giant land snails and lizards. We got to hold or stroke Cleo (a snake) or Lilo (a bearded dragon). Miss Richardson was very impressed at the knowledge we had remembered about different types of animals so we could sort them by their animal type.
