With the first half term finished, I have had some time to reflect on our "Space" topic. The children really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, however running it over a course of six weeks was probably too long as their were definitely some weeks were we lost momentum! Next half term I would like to keep the pace up a little more.
We are starting next half term with the Human Body, and I really enjoyed involving the children in what we are going to do. First we made a list of everything we knew about the body, and then thought of questions we would like to learn. We've split what we'd like to learn into different sections:
- The skeleton
- Body Parts
- Injuries/Illnesses
I'm hoping to cover each of these topics each week, so the topic lasts for three weeks, with the potential of a fourth week if anything arises! Then we will need to pick a (short!) topic together to squeeze in before we ramp things up for Christmas!
