Welcome back!

We hope you all enjoyed the spring break and are ready for an exciting summer term ahead.

This term our theme is Amazon Adventure. We will be learning about the differences between the United Kingdom and Ecuador, comparing their unique features and landscapes. Along the way, we’ll also explore the fascinating world of animal habitats and adaptations.

In mathematics, we’ll be developing our understanding of fractions, including recognising halves, thirds, and quarters. You can support this learning at home through everyday activities such as discussing halves and quarters when cutting fruit or sharing food. Later in the term, we’ll move on to telling the time. Wearing an analogue watch can really help children build confidence with this skill. Watches are welcome in school, but should be removed during PE sessions.

In English, we’ll continue exploring a range of writing genres, beginning with narrative stories inspired by The Lost Homework. We’ll be focusing on key writing skills such as using apostrophes and conjunctions, while continuing to build accuracy and confidence in sentence writing.

For further details, please take a look at our parent letter and home learning grid.

If you have any questions, feel free to speak to us at the door, send in a note, or contact the school office to arrange a convenient appointment. We’re looking forward to a happy, active, and inspiring half term together!
