Granelli 2025 - 2026

Our theme for this term is ‘Global Warriors’.

Pupils will begin to learn about the Environment and being eco-friendly. Pupils will learn about recycling and why it is important and how they can begin to reduce the non-recyclable waste they produce. They will think of alternative ways to avoid waste, including helping others in their school and the wider community. Pupils will explore a mixture of topics including: the environment and pollution, recycling, separating materials, waste degradation. Within each topic, pupils will explore music, textures, colour, and light. They will use their senses to explore each of these. We will focus on the pupil’s communication by allowing them to choose, ask for more and finished and share their likes and dislikes using their own communication method.
