Term 5

Welcome to Term 5.

We hope you had a lovely break and enjoyed the Easter celebrations.

This term in English we will begin by learning how to write a playscript and then we will be writing a diary. Our class text this term is The Boy Who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd.

In Maths, we will complete our work on mass and capacity, then move on to money and more work on fractions.

Over the next two terms in Science we will be examining the life cycle of plants. Identifying their requirements in order to function, grow and reproduce. We will explore how different environments can affect plant growth and investigate how water is transported from the soil and how plants use sunlight to produce food.

In Geography, we will be locating North America on a world map using latitude and longitude. We will also be discovering some of the physical and human features of this region.

In Art, we will explore traditional and contemporary still life artists and make our own creative response.

Our PE days are Monday and Tuesdays, when will be learning some yoga poses and playing dynamo cricket. As the weather continues to improve, please ensure your child has a named hat and sun tan lotion in school, as well as a named PE kit.

Finally, we will be reflecting on the question, When Jesus left, what was the impact of the Pentecost? in our RE lessons.

If you have any questions or queries, please send them via your child's contact book, email the school office or you can speak to us on the playground at the end of the school day.

With very best wishes,

Mrs Baker, Miss Smithson (student teacher), Miss Glenister and Mrs Bradley
