Welcome to Marvel Class.

We wish you all a very happy new year. We cannot wait to see you all and explore our new topic together!

This term our topic is  'Starry Night' we will be exploring the differences in the world at night compared to during the day. The children will learn about the importance of a good night’s sleep, and helps them to discover what is happening in the world while they are sleeping, including finding out about nocturnal animals. 

We will also be exploring our mini topic 'Winter Wonderland'. We will be learning about the changes that happen during winter, including the types of weather associated with winter. It also explores places that have snow all year round and the types of animals that live there.
