Dear Parents and Carers,

Here’s a look at what your child will be exploring this half term:

Dear Parents and Carers,

We hope you’ve all had a lovely break! 🌟 We’re really excited to begin this new half term, and we have lots of exciting learning planned for the children. Here’s a little overview of what we’ll be covering in each subject:

English 📖 – We’ll be exploring the traditional tale The Little Red Hen. The children will enjoy retelling the story, acting it out, and even writing their own versions.
Maths 🔢 – Our focus will be on Number and Place Value, helping children grow in confidence with numbers, counting, and understanding their value.
Science 🔬 – We’ll be learning about Animals including Humans, with a look at body parts and our five senses.
Geography 🗺️ – We’ll explore our local area, using maps to discover both our school grounds and the village of Crawshawbooth.
PE 🤸 – This half term we’ll focus on fundamental movement skills and playing target games to build coordination and teamwork.
RE 🕉️ – Our topic is Hinduism, exploring what Hindus believe about God.
PSHE 💬 – We’ll think about Me and My Relationships, encouraging the children to reflect on friendships, feelings, and working together.
Music 🎶 – The children will get creative with composition and improvisation, focusing on the genre of Reggae.
Computing 💻 – We’ll be learning how to group data and create data sets, developing important organisation and problem-solving skills.

We can’t wait to explore these topics together and see the children’s enthusiasm for learning shine through. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

If you have any questions about our curriculum this half term, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
