The children and staff are had a very busy and exciting term! First, stepping into the role of Historians, exploring the tragic events of the Great Fire of London and discovering how it helped shape modern fire safety. In November we, took time to reflect on Remembrance and why it is important.
As Artists, we studied the types of houses that were built during the time of the Great Fire, we looked at artwork that showed the Great Fire and used collage to create our own Great Fire of London art piece. As Scientists we focused our enquiries on the human body and the five senses, as well as observing the seasonal changes as Autumn transitioned into Winter. It was a term full of creativity, curiosity, and discovery!

A Look Back at Our Autumn Term 1 Journey 2025
The children settled into the new term wonderfully and showed great enthusiasm for our learning topics. Last term, we explored our local county town of Taunton in Geography, discovering what made it special and how it connected to our lives.
In Art, we dived into the world of landscapes, using different materials and techniques to express the beauty of nature. Our Science lessons focused on food chains and animal classes, helping us understand how living things depend on each other.
In RE, we thought deeply about what Christians believe God looks like, encouraging thoughtful discussion and creativity. We also celebrated the Harvest Festival at the Minster. This was a lovely opportunity to come together as a school community!
