Autumn Term 2 ‘Zoom to the Moon’

Our space adventure begins with a letter from Tim Peake. He also sent the class a piece of moon rock and challenged us to find out as much as we can about Space, the Moon, stars and solar system. He even mentioned the prospect of meeting some aliens! Through Drawing Club we will be transported other worlds, exploring different planets and the Moon. We will be inspired by the characters and the magical setting of outer Space. We will use the theme of space in art and design, rockets of course being a firm favourite. In Science we will learn about the Sun and other light sources, we will explore big concepts such as gravity and magnets. It is going to be a joyful term with visits from local STEM ambassadors and the Bath Astronomers Society, with an evening under the stars!

Please see weekly timetable for Apple Class. This is a general overview of the days throughout the week.

Cosy Time (Guided Reading) takes place in groups throughout the week.

Timetable is subject to change due to events, visits or trips taking place, or weather conditions (Mike’s Meadow).

Our Vision Statement for EYFS at Batheaston Church School

At Batheaston Church School we endeavour to promote a love of learning; where interests and talents are nurtured and challenged, empathy is fostered and friendships formed. A child entering Apple Class will embark on a creative, engaging learning adventure. Our environment is rich in first-hand experiences with time given to dream, aspire and achieve. Independence is encouraged and risk-taking is celebrated within safe and secure surroundings.

As a team we are passionate about the education of young children. Activities planned provide a wide range of opportunities to enable children to play, work, collaborate, apply skills learnt, test ideas and narrate their inner imaginings. We aim to build children’s academic, social and emotional well-being so that they can thrive both within our walls and the world beyond.
