Spring Term 2026:

In Literacy we have enjoyed reading the book ‘The Bear and the Piano’ and its sequel, ‘The Dog and the Fiddle’. We have been revisiting our learning on using noun phrases and choosing adjectives carefully to add detail to our writing and we have been learning how to use time words effectively to help our writing flow. We have used these skills to write a recount of our trip to the theatre and to write an effective opening for a story. 

In Maths, we have continued to work on arithmetic, practicing methods for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. 

We have completed our unit of work on geometry, learning how to name, describe, sort and draw 2D and 3D shapes. 

In Science we have been learning about plants, how they grow, what they need and how to look after them. We have enjoyed lots of outdoor learning – planting seeds, weeding and taking care of our plants. 

In History we have been learning about the Great Fire of London. We have been lucky enough to visit Staircase House in Stockport where we explored the events of 1666 through drama and creative activities. 

In Computing we have been learning about internet safety and how to keep ourselves safe online. We enjoyed taking part in  our Internet Safety day in February.

In music we continued practicing songs, using instruments and performed these as a class. We are getting very well up on our musical vocabulary knowledge.

In  Art, we have begun  our work on pattern, focusing on the work of paper artist Naomi Kendall

In  RE we have been learning about sacred books, exploring religious stories and what they teach us about how we should live our lives.
