What we have been learning about

12/9/25 What a fantastic start to the year! The children have settled extremely well into their new classroom and have quickly embraced their roles as responsible citizens of Darley Dene. In English, we’ve been enjoying our class text Cosmic and have been gathering rich and effective vocabulary to describe the main character. We’ve written detailed character profiles and even brought the story to life through role play, stepping into the shoes of the main characters. In Science, we’ve begun our exciting new topic on Earth and Space. We've learnt that the Earth, Sun, and Moon are all spherical in shape and discussed how they relate to one another in our solar system. In RE, we’ve reflected on what Religious Education means to us and shared our prior knowledge of different religions and our understanding of them. Wishing you all a lovely weekend - we look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday!
