Reminders

- Please bring your child's reading books to school every day.

- School starts at 8:45 am and classroom doors shut at 8:55 am, your child must arrive on time.

- Label all pieces of uniform, PE kits and wellie boots - things get lost very easily!

Spring 2 - What will the children be learning?

This half term, children will embark on an exciting journey across various subjects.

In English, they will develop their creativity and writing skills through story writing, focusing on structuring narratives with engaging characters and settings.

In Science, children will be learning about different habitats and the animals that live in them.

In Geography, they will investigate "Extreme Earth," delving into climate change and their impact on the planet.

RE will focus on Christianity, where they will explore key beliefs, teachings, and traditions, deepening their understanding of how faith influences people's lives.

Through these topics, children will enhance their knowledge, critical thinking, and appreciation for the world around them.
