Learning Challenge

What's the Scariest Creature?

Our new curriculum question is, 'What's the Scariest Creature?'
We will start the term by reading Handa's Surprise. This story is set in Africa. Through this wonderful text, we will compare life in Handa's village to our environment. We will learn about a range of African animals and we will explore the seven delicious fruits that Handa puts in her basket.
We will then spend time learning and retelling 'The Gruffalo'. Whilst discovering just how scary this creature is and designing our own scary creature, we will also learn about dinosaurs. Which dinosaurs were really scary? Which dinosaurs were carnivores? How did herbivores protect themselves? Which was the scariest dinosaur?
