Autumn Term 2025

Hello all and welcome to your very first class page! We have got lots of exciting learning taking place during your first term at school, but will spend the first couple of weeks really getting to know each other and settling into school life and routines.

In PSHE this term we will be looking at our feelings with the colour monster and then celebrating our different families and friends.

In Art we will be making lots of different marks in our ‘marvellous marks’ topic and our DT topic will have us junk modelling!

During Science, we will be looking at what we can see in our world around us. This means lots of time spent outside exploring! We will also be looking into how animals change through life cycles later on in the second half of our Autumn term.

In History, we will be looking at how toys have changed over time. Through this topic we will be discussing similarities and differences between the toys we play with today and those that our grownups played with when they were little.

 In RE, we will be looking at the Hindu celebration of Diwali. Then, before Christmas we will be finding out what happens in church and how important this place of worship is to Christians.

In Geography, we will be looking at what our world looked like when dinosaurs roamed and how this has changed over time and in Computing, we will be looking at what a computer is. This topic will have us working on our keyboard and mouse skills.

Finally, last but not least we will be creating, performing and singing different nursery rhymes in our Music topic of ‘Me!’

Our PE and Forest school day is a Friday this term. Children will need to come to school already dressed in their PE kits for this please. Children will also need appropriate clothing for their forest school session depending on the weather. It would be great if you could send your child in with a change of clothes and footwear such as Wellies.

 I cannot wait to get stuck into our fun-filled (and very busy) first term and I hope you’re looking forward to what we’ve got planned to! Please do not hesitate to email reception@allsaints-harwich.essex.sch.uk if you have any questions and be sure to look out for ‘home challenges’ set on Marvellous Me!
