Spring Term ‘Dinosaur Detectives’
This term we will become dinosaur detectives. We will delve into pre-historic times when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The children will be in training to become Palaeontologists, following in the footsteps of Mary Anning, the most famous female fossil collector in Victorian times. We will learn about the different types of dinosaurs, what they ate, how they moved, what special features they had and why they became extinct. This topic will enable the children to develop their historical enquiry skills, whilst at the same time tapping into their imaginations through art and design and in their play. In drawing club we will include stories and animations that will excite and spark our curiosity. We will begin with a letter and special museum exhibit from CBeebies ‘Andy’. Lets walk together in the very large footsteps of dinosaurs!!

Our Vision Statement for EYFS at Batheaston Church School
At Batheaston Church School we endeavour to promote a love of learning; where interests and talents are nurtured and challenged, empathy is fostered and friendships formed. A child entering Apple Class will embark on a creative, engaging learning adventure. Our environment is rich in first-hand experiences with time given to dream, aspire and achieve. Independence is encouraged and risk-taking is celebrated within safe and secure surroundings.
As a team we are passionate about the education of young children. Activities planned provide a wide range of opportunities to enable children to play, work, collaborate, apply skills learnt, test ideas and narrate their inner imaginings. We aim to build children’s academic, social and emotional well-being so that they can thrive both within our walls and the world beyond.
