We will be learning through many fascinating topics this Spring term. Here are just a few of them:

Geography – Investigating our world (pt2)

Science – Properties and changes of materials

Computing – Selection in physical computing / systems and networks

Art – Expression 

Music – Drumming

DT – Architecture

RE – What happens when we die?

PSHE – Health and well being / economic wellbeing 

P.E. – Dance, circuit training and football

Each week, we will have a set of words to learn for spelling, which we must practice in our book and get signed. Each Friday, we will have our spelling test.

Homework is set on Friday and handed back by the following Wednesday. It will alternate between maths and literacy.

We should aim to read at least five times a week, we should keep our reading diary up to date and ask an adult to sign it. Remember to carry  reading books and diaries between school and home in our book bags.

We look forward to having lots of fun through our broad and rich curriculum.
