Welcome to Module 1
This module we will spend time settling into our new routines and timetables, getting to know one another, and making the most of our new outdoor spaces. Our IB sessions will focus on exploring the world around us in simple, engaging ways. We will be learning about the different jobs people do, what animals eat, and what healthy eating looks like for humans. We will also be inspired by the artist Keith Haring and explore the celebrations of Sukkot and Harvest. We will continue to enjoy Forest School each week and will have a weekly swimming session.
