Autumn 2

The second half of Autumn term leads up to Christmas and allows us to foster the childrens' excitement about new toys and Yuletide celebrations. We will follow the childrens' interests in learning all about toys from the past, making our own kites, writing about our favourite toys, posting letters to Father Christmas and having a science themed 'Toy Day' to learn all about how our favourite toys work and the materials used to make them.
