Welcome to the Summer term! We hope you have had a fun Easter break.

Our topic for this term is ‘London’. We will link this with our English, Geography and History.
In Geography we will be learning about the four counties in the UK, different cities, landmarks and studying maps and compass points. We will do some work studying the similarities and differences between Shrewsbury and London. In History we will be learning about the Great Fire of London.
We hope this Summer term will bring more opportunities for learning outdoors as well as a sports day event for children.

In PE this term, the children will be consolidating a number of skills as well as learning new ones. They will focus on athletics, team building and tennis.
PE will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure full PE kit is in school on these days.

Autumn Term 2023

Welcome back to school! We are really excited to have you all back at school for the Autumn term. We hope you have all had an
enjoyable summer holiday. This term our topic is ‘Explorers’. In history we will be learning about two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Helen Sharman, whilst learning about these significant individuals and events we will be exploring the UK in Geography and discussing different
human and physical features.  In Science we will be learning about two topics in Science, ‘Animals’ and ‘Materials’.

In ‘Animals’ we will begin by looking at the human body and naming body parts then we will move on to look at wild animals and pets. Following this we will learn about what animals eat and group them into carnivores, herbivores or omnivores. Finally we will learn about different types of animals and group them into fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. In ‘Materials’ we will be exploring different types of materials and learn their names and purposes. We will explore waterproof and absorbent materials and investigate whether materials float or sink. Finally we will identify natural and man made objects. In Art we will be exploring colour learning about primary and secondary colours. After half term children will create their own space rockets.
