Welcome back to school for the Summer Term!

We hope you all had a lovely Easter Break. 

Our topic this term is called 'Ticket to Ride' and we will be learning lots about vehicles from the past and present. We will look at transport which goes on land, sea and in the air. As part of our topic, we will learn about the American aviation pioneer, Amelia Earhart. This will lead to learning about America in more general terms and looking at the American space programme. We will have an America-themed Cultural Day after half term!

To round off our Spring Term topic, Big and Little Dragons will be going to Normanby Hall on Thursday 1st May to go on a minibeast safari and do pond dipping. We cannot wait! We will even get to ride there on a bus, linking to this term's topic too.

Our PE day is still Wednesday, so you will need to wear your PE kit to school on that day. Please wear trainers with velcro so you are able to put them on yourself, as we change in and out of plimsolls throughout the day. This term we will be focusing on getting ready for Sports Day!

In RE this term, we are looking at 'Special Places'. We will learn that everyone has their own special places to go to feel calm and happy. We will look at our local environments-school, home, the community and places that are special to Christians e.g. the church.

In English, we are focusing on the text 'The Naughty Bus'  and our role play area has turned into a bus station and a double-decker bus! We will be using our phonic knowledge to help us write simple words and sentences.

In Maths, we are learning to use numbers beyond 10. We will practise our careful counting, number recognition and place value (recognising that teen numbers are made up of one ten and so many ones)

Each Friday, we will invite your grown-ups to come into the classroom for 'Family Fun Friday' from 8.45-9.15am. This is a chance for you to show your grown-ups what we are learning about in class, to take part in learning together and for them to chat to the staff. 

It is going to be another busy term, we can't wait to help you 'Reach for the Stars!'
