When Leon steps into Abdul Kazam’s magic tent, his brother and sister do not believe in magic, but Leon does. Stepping into the magician’s box, he is transported to the magical "Place Between", a wonderland where vanished objects and impossible dreams come alive.

This spellbinding story forms another springboard to continue our study theme, ‘Dreams’  as we explore magic, wonder, and the impossible. In English, we will dive into Angela McAllister's rich storytelling alongside P.G. Bell's The Train to Impossible Places, while in Art, we'll take inspiration from the circus environment to produce our own block printing artwork. As Scientists, we will continue investigating 'Animals including humans', while in Mathematics, we will build mastery in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Our connected curriculum stretches across every subject: as Computer Technologists, we will master 'Logo' and 'Branching Databases'; as Linguists, we will learn to speak Spanish about the 'Seasons'; and in Music, we will compose soundscapes inspired by our dreams. As Sportspeople, we will develop invasion game fundamentals and dodgeball skills, while in RSHE and Religious Education, we will explore global rights, inclusion, and the impact of Jesus's presence at Christmas. Standing up as Climate Changemakers and Courageous Advocates, we will share our dreams for a sustainable future by campaigning for clean transport.

After beginning our journey with a magical Super Starter exploring hopes and dreams, all of this wonderful learning will culminate in an exciting Fantastic Finish where the children will step into the ring for their very own Circus Workshop!
