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.
