???? Summer Term Overview

Welcome to the Summer Term! We have a fun-filled term ahead, packed with exciting topics and hands-on learning experiences that your child will love.

We’ll be exploring the fascinating world of minibeasts—bugs, worms, spiders, and more! Children will investigate where they live, what they eat, and why they’re so important to our environment. Expect some exciting outdoor adventures as we search for creatures in the school grounds and local areas.

This term, we’re also learning all about farming—how crops grow, what animals live on a farm, and how our food gets from field to fork. To bring this to life, we’ll be visiting a working farm, where the children will enjoy a tractor ride and see the animals up close. A fantastic chance to connect classroom learning with the real world!

We’ll be taking a journey around the globe to learn about different countries, cultures, foods, and traditions. Children will explore maps, try new crafts, and gain a better understanding of the wonderful diversity in our world.

To finish the term, we’ll dive into a world of pirates! Through stories, role-play, and creative activities, the children will learn about life at sea, create treasure maps, and maybe even find some hidden treasure of their own!

It’s set to be a term full of curiosity, creativity, and fun learning. Be sure to check the website for updates and photos of what we’ve been up to!

 

Our PE slot this academic year is Wednesday pm. The children need to come to school wearing their PE kit on this day. 

On Friday mornings we will have our weekly Forest School sessions; these will happen whatever the weather so please bring children to school dressed in appropriate clothing for the season.
