Hello and welcome to the Squirrels class page. I am Miss Woods, the squirrels class teacher and Design and Technology lead (which you can find our more about in the 'Design and Technology' section of the website under the 'curriculum' tab). 

I love being creative and finding new ways to solve problems which is why I enjoy crocheting so much! I love finding new patterns and challenging myself to see what I can make. It is also why I am so passionate about D&T as it allows everyone to be creative and helps to develop the children's problem solving skills.

I think it is very important to work together within our classroom to make sure everyone feels welcome and special. The 6 Rs help us to make everyone feel welcome within our class so we are always striving to follow them as much as we can.

This Term

This term, in history and geography we will be learning all about where our food comes from and the changes that have been made to farming through history. We will learn about what foods grow in the UK and what we need to import from other countries. 

In art, we will be exploring the artistic mediums of collage and printing! We will be looking at the works of Matisse and Cezanne and learning all about the effects of colours on the mood of a piece of art.

In science, we will be continuing to look at animals including humans as well as how diet and exercise can keep you healthy. There is so much to discover about the creatures all around the world! Do you have a favourite creature? Why don’t you come and let us know all about it!
