We are looking forward to an exciting and inspiring Spring term.

Our topic for the Spring Term is ‘Survival of the Fittest’ and throughout the term we will be developing skills in History, Science and Geography.

In History, we will be studying a significant event/person from the past, We will be learning about Amelia Earhart and her adventures around the world!  In Science, we will be studying seasonal changes (Yr 1), human and animal life cycles and what is needed to survive (Yr 2) and how plants grow and what they need to survive (Yr 2). In Geography we will use simple fieldwork and observational skills to study the geography of our school and its grounds and the key human and physical features surrounding it’s environment. We will be using maps and atlases to support our learning.

You will not need to bring your PE kits to school but you can wear your PE kits on our PE days. Some PE lessons will be outside so please make sure children will be warm enough.

Homework will be sent home on Monday’s to be completed by Friday. On seesaw there are links and websites which the children can access. Children can upload any homework they complete on Seesaw or they can keep a record in their Reading Link book. Any homework children complete will be rewarded.

You can support us by listening to your child read regularly and support them with their phonics. An R1 and a tally will be given each time your child reads at home. At the end of term, a raffle will be drawn based on the tallies and the winner will get a small prize. Please remember to sign children’s reading records to let us know they have read so they can earn their raffle tickets. This can also include books read at home which are not your child’s reading record. As well as this you could watch Numberblocks, play Maths games on the White Rose app, practice phonics using the Phonics Play website and practice reading and spelling the red words from your child’s colour bookmark.

We look forward to a fun and exciting Spring Term.
