Our topic this term is ‘Allotment.’
 
This term, your child will dive into the world of gardening and sustainability through our exciting Allotment topic. Rooted in real-life experiences, children will explore where food comes from, how ecosystems work, and why caring for our environment matters. Through hands-on activities like growing produce in the school garden, visiting local allotments, and mapping green spaces in Talbot Green, learners will connect deeply with their community and nature.
They’ll investigate plant life cycles, composting, and ethical food choices, while building key skills in science, geography, and wellbeing. Literacy and numeracy are woven throughout as children journal their observations, measure growth, and interpret data. The topic encourages teamwork, resilience, and healthy living through outdoor learning and mindful reflection.
By the end, pupils will understand how human actions impact the planet and how they can make a difference, whether by growing their own food, reducing waste, or sharing knowledge at home. It’s a rich, inclusive experience designed to spark curiosity, responsibility, and a lifelong love for the natural world.
