Spring Term 

It is the Spring term already! This term we are learning all about the Ancient Greeks! This is a very exciting unit of work which sees us learn about life as an Ancient Greek and tasting/making Greek food in D.T. In our English lessons we will be reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. This is always a firm favourite with the children and Mrs Cook too! In February we will be heading to Ufton Court for our Greek themed two night residential trip. We are so excited! 

Still life drawing and painting is our focus in our Art lessons and we shall be learning all about clothes in French. Science lessons will be fascinating this term as we learn about Space and the Solar System. In PE we will be honing our hockey and gymnastics skills. As ever, our classroom will be a busy one!
