Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely Easter Break! This term our main topic for the will be ‘All on board.’ During this topic, we will be learning about different countries around the world. We will be exploring the cultures, traditions, foods, climates and landscapes of different countries as part of this topic. We will also be looking at the human body and learning about our organs and what their jobs are inside our bodies. The pupils will be at the heart of their learning as they will be sharing their ideas with their class on the things they would like to learn. The pupils’ ideas will then be used to ensure there is full coverage of the curriculum through the six areas of learning including: Health and Wellbeing, Language, Literacy and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy, Science and Technology, Expressive Arts and Humanities.
