Ash 1
Welcome to Ash 1
2024-2025
Our Autumn 1 theme is 'To Infinity and Beyond!'
Our core book is Man on the Moon by Simon Bartram, about Bob who keeps the Moon nice and tidy-who knows maybe it will encourage the children to clean their bedrooms?!?
The children will be learning about explorers. We will begin by thinking about what we mean by chronology, the past and what an explorer is. We will then move on to looking at why and how Christopher Columbus explored and what life was like for the great ocean explorers of old. Our main focus will then be on the 'Space Race' between Russia and the USA. The children will then compare Columbus with Neil Armstrong.
Later in the half term, the children will look at how Tim Peake did lots of experiments whilst on the International Space station, many of them looking at how space may affect the growth of plants. The children will set up their own plant investigations and look at what plants require in order to grow well.

Our PE lessons will take place on a Thursday (with the Charlton coach) and Friday (with Mr Lopes). Please ensure that the correct indoor and outdoor PE kit is in school at all times.
PE kits will be sent home at the end of each half term.
