FOREST SCHOOL day is Monday

Summer 2 Learning
This half term our topic is
'All creatures great and small'
Intent – Our intent with this learning is for children to have an understanding of the different animals that live in the world and the habitats they live in.
Implementation – The children will see pictures and videos of animals in different countries. They will have hands on experience of animals in our country by visiting a farm, and using our forest and local environment to focus on minibeasts.
Impact – Children will have a knowledge of animals and how we should look after our environment to help the animals.
Why now? - Linking to the idea of new life, the season where new animals are born.
