Welcome to the Summer Term.
We have had a fantastic Spring term. We look forward to continuing our successes this Summer Term.
This term, our topics will be, 'Adventures In London' and 'Oh I do Like to be beside the Seaside.'
In English, we will be looking at Paddington Bear. We will read about his adventures and create our very own story, moving on to produce a newspaper report. After the May half term, we will look at the Lighthouse Keepers Lunch - writing stories and recounts from our very own beach trip.
In Maths we will continue to focus counting and using numbers from 0 - 50. We will learn about multiplication and division, position, fractions, money and time. We have weekly arithmetic tests and will continue to focus on number facts in Kirfs; looking firstly at doubles and halving numbers.
We will be moving on from animals to learning about materials in Science. We are learning about the history of Kings and Queens and seasides. The children will be making a moving storybook in DT. In R.E we are learning about the Jewish religion.
We have lots of fabulous learning in other subjects to link within our main topics. We aim to make learning practical as possible and we expect Peacock class to always try their best, making 'every second counts.0
