Our enquiry question for this term is:

Are words the only way to express ourselves?

Our Enquiry lessons this term are mainly Art based! We will be studying two artists; Frida Kahlo and Banksy! We will be expressing ourselves through various mediums including sketching and painting with a focus on different materials such as pencils, pastels, collage and spray paint.

Towards the end of the term we will be having a special visitor – Anna Wheelhouse – a local artist who is going to help us design and paint our very own Beeston mural! We can’t wait!

In PSHE we will cover two topics 'Relationships' and 'Changing Me'. During 'Relationships' we will be learning about how to stay safe when using technology, our rights and responsibilities when in an online community or social network and also discussing how to recognise when I have spent too much time when using devices. After the half-term holiday we will be  moving onto the final unit of the year, 'Changing Me'. This unit focuses on how our bodies change during puberty, how to look after ourselves physically and emotionally and we will also be recognising that sometimes people need IVF to help them have a baby. Look out for a letter from Miss Gutteridge during the Summer term which will explain more about our sex education.
