Spring Term 

This term we are very excited to be learning all about Ancient Greece! We will be learning about many aspects of life in Greece, the Olympics and even doing some Greek cooking! In Science our focus will be The Planets and the Solar System followed by Plants and Animal life cycles after half term. In English our focus novel will be Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - this exciting adventure will be the inspiration for lots of our writing. In French we will be learning all about clothes. After half term, we will be learning how to order in a french cafe... another opportunity to bring food tasting into our learning!!

In PE we will be developing our gymnastic and hockey skills.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please find an information video on how you can support your child with learning to spell. These strategies can be used to inspire your child to learn their spellings and retain them.

You will also see a crib sheet of the strategies presented in the video as well as some additional strategies which aren't mentioned in the video.
