What are we learning about?


This topic will enable pupils to develop their problem solving and design skills. We will look at what transport is, different modes of transport, how these are used and what features they have. Pupils will consider what makes a good mode of transport and why. By applying their knowledge each child will invent their own vehicle. Children will have a better understanding of measurements and writing labels.

We will design, make and evaluate our own vehicles!

Learning Opportunities

  • Creating different stations e.g bus, train, taxi outside for the children to act in different roles.
  • Opportunities in the Art area to create vehicles using junk modelling.

How can you help?

  • Ask your child which vehicles they can spot. How do they move? What are they used for?
  • Please continue to help your child to learn to read and write their words in their pot, we will check their spellings each Thursday and new words will be sent home when ready.
