Welcome back!

We hope you had a wonderful break and are ready for another exciting term ahead. This term, our theme is Victorians. The children will enjoy discovering what life was like during Victorian times. We are looking forward to our trip to Knebworth House, where the children will be able to experience aspects of Victorian life in action.

In science, the children will investigate the life cycles of humans and other animals. They will learn how living things grow and change over time.

In mathematics, the children will continue to strengthen their understanding of number. They will also explore statistics, learning how to interpret and create tables and graphs. In addition, they will build their knowledge of position and direction, including describing movement and turns accurately.

In English, the children will further develop their fiction and non-fiction writing skills. A key focus will remain on important technical skills such as sentence structure, handwriting and spelling. Some of the exciting texts we will be sharing this term include Here I Am, Super Joe Does Not Do Cuddles and Belonging Street.

We have also planned a range of transition events to help support the children as they prepare for their move to their next schools. Please keep an eye on our whole school calendar and newsletters for the latest updates and information.

If you have any questions, please send in a note or arrange a convenient appointment. We are looking forward to a happy, successful and inspiring half term with the children.
