Topic - Grow, Sow and Farm!
In this topic, the pupils will be encouraged to think creatively and imaginatively as they explore the theme of ‘Grow, Sow and Farm’. We will investigate farming in the UK through fun and immersive activities that will develop their understanding of farming and the important role it plays in our everyday lives. In Design and Technology, pupils will explore food, nutrition and culture by investigating the ingredients and food groups that make up a traditional Greek bread recipe. They will consider where ingredients come from before adapting the recipe and designing their own version, making thoughtful choices about ingredients, flavours and nutritional value. Alongside this, Science learning will focus on Living Things and their Habitats, exploring how different living things are suited to their environments and how they depend on one another. In Mathematics, children will develop fluency and problem-solving skills by focusing on place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, applying their mathematical knowledge to real-life contexts and challenges linked to our topic. Across our learning, pupils will be encouraged to make connections between subjects, ask questions, investigate ideas and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them! It is proving to be an exciting term, with pupils enjoying themselves as they learn, explore and grow together!
PE
PE is every Monday and Thursday during this half term. Children can wear their PE kits on PE days to reduce congestion and close proximity in the areas used for changing. To help keep everyone safe during PE, children cannot wear jewellery, including earrings. If possible, please avoid children wearing earrings on their PE days. Thank you for your continued support!
Home Learning
Reading
We ask that children read at home regularly at home. Children can read independently, to an adult, or to a sibling. Please ensure reading diaries are signed at least two times a week.
Maths/English
Children need to be practicing times tables regularly at home, they can use TT Rockstars to help. Children also need to be using Bedrock at home to help with their grammar. Additional homework may also be set on Seesaw.
Spellings
Children will be given spellings every Friday for a spelling test on the following Friday and a new set to be given out. The weekly spellings are placed into reading diaries and are also posted on Seesaw. Please ensure children are practicing their spellings at home during the week.
