Summer Term 2025:

In Literacy we have continued our work on bees and created some fantastic information reports about this magnificent creatures. We have written interesting reports to inform the reader of how special bees are and to persuade people of the importance of creating a bee friendly environment.

To end the school year we will be creating poems about what might happen if we were in charge of the world, inspired by the poet Judith Viorst. As you can imagine there have been some very creative and interesting ideas from the children!

In our Maths work we have worked really hard to secure our addition and subtraction skills. This has been a really important challenge to make sure that we use the number facts we know and can use them in calculations.

For the rest of the year we will be working on multiplication and division skills to try to make sure that we are ready to take on the challenges for arithmetic in year 4.

Our final summer Science topic has forces and magnets. We started by exploring what a magnet is before starting to learn about how it works. We have carried out an investigation into friction and how this can affect how objects move. We are going to go on to investigate what different materials are attracted to magnets.

We also then moved on to study the sadness and joy of Easter for Christians and how Easter is celebrated around the world.

In computing we have been learning about Digital publishing. We have been using a program called Publisher to help us learn how to create and publish images, posters and text!

In French we are learning the phonics sound – oi. We are also learning how to greet others, numbers 1 – 10 and ask what is your name?

In PSHCCE, we will continue to learn about healthy lifestyles, including how to eat a healthy, balanced diet and how to be safe in different types of weather. We will also be learning about good personal hygiene and how to keep our bodies clean and healthy. We have also been celebrating anti-bullying week by creating acrostic poems about ‘Respect’, which is this year’s theme.
