In Einstein Class, we follow the National Curriculum for numeracy and literacy. Our creative curriculum allows us to link with other projects across additional curriculum areas, including science, history, geography, DT, art, music, cooking and nutrition, and computing.

Our autumn topic in Einstein Class will be ‘Stone Age and The Flintstones’. The theme will be a natural, stone-like environment with a range of different tools and models for the children to investigate and to spark inspiration and enthusiasm.

In History, we will be delving into life in the Stone Age, learning about where the Stone Age fits into history, different settlements and what life was like during this period. This will be complemented by our ‘Superb Starter’, where the children will be taking part in a Stonehenge art-themed day, and our ‘Mix It Up Middle’, where children will dress up and live a day as a Stone Age person! On this day, we will cover our DT objective of learning to cook a savoury dish.

In Science, the children will begin learning about different types of rocks and soils. This will then progress to investigating what happens when animals die and form into fossils. Our ‘Enthralling Ending’ will be a DT and Computing-themed day where we will be designing, building and marketing a Stone Age board game. We will also cover the human body, including nutrition and the use of the skeleton.

This term\'s RE will focus on how and why people are welcomed into different communities and why Jesus is a special person to some religious people. In Art, the children will be learning about different paint strokes and their effect, the effect of colour mixing and batik (an ancient form of dyeing).

We will, of course, be reading a range of books such as: Stone Age Boy, Stig of the Dump, Skara Brae, The First Drawing and a selection of non-fiction texts.
