Autumn 1 Marvellous me

Our topic this half term is 'Marvellous me!'

Within this topic we will enquire into: 

  • My new class/starting school
  • Learning King Eds rules and routines!
  • Feelings/emotions
  • My special people
  • My body

Our key questions are:

  • What makes me, me?
  • What parts does my body have?
  • How have I changed?
  • Do we always feel the same? 
  • Which people are special and why?

Key knowledge (important bit):

  • My body has parts such as arms, legs, head and feet. 
  • We use our senses to understand the world around us. 
  • I have changed since I was a baby as I have grown bigger and can do more. 
  • Special people are people who care for us, such as family and friends. 
  • We can feel different emotions, and these can change so we do not always feel the same.
