Welcome to the new school year! We are very excited to begin another fabulous term in the newly named 'Beech Class' and we have lots of fabulous activities planned.

English - We will be focusing on the book 'The Promise' by Nicola Davies, a story about a girl who has the chance to change her life and the world, for good. We will be writing a character narrative and a persuasive letter. After this book, we move on to the story of King Kong by Anthony Browne. For this book, we will be writing a narrative plus a balanced argument, which is always interesting.

Maths - We are using White Rose maths scheme which children are familiar with.

Geography - We are going to be finding out about why population changes and why some places are more populated than others.

History - We are going to be investigating what the census tells us about our local area.

Art - We will be printing, using the artist William Morris as our focus.

Science - We will be learning about reproduction and gestation of creatures, as well as changes that happen to us as we grow. We will then move on to forces.

DT - Children will be exploring our own playground equipment and that of the locality, before creating a model playground of their own.

Computing - As always, we will keep revisiting online safety. Alongside this, we will be programming music and then learning about stop motion animation.

PE - Please make sure that you bring your PE kit every Monday. This term we will be enjoying tennis and cricket, as well as a Friday football session with a coach.

RE - We will be looking at belief in God and also prayer.

Music - Mrs Young will be teaching music every Tuesday.

PSHE - My Happy Mind

We cannot wait for the children to be able to share what they have learned with you.
