Summer 1 topic - The Moon Landing

Welcome back after Easter half term, we are very excited about our new learning this half term!

This half term, our children will be exploring the history behind the first moon landing! They will get the chance to understand the events leading up to this historical moment and use this to make links with prior historical learning from this year! In science, children will be learning more about plants and how to identify these within their local environments, The children will carry out observations and think scientifically. Alongside this, children will continue to build their R.E knowledge by exploring sacred texts, understand the importance of money in PSHE and finally begin to develop their painting skills by looking at the wonderful artist, Van Gogh.

Please visit our class page to find out more about our learning and how best to support your child at home.
