Dear Children 

Teachers have chosen a theme from your key text for Term 1 for you to explore over the summer. This is an opportunity for you to be creative and widen your knowledge about our wonderful world so you can use your new knowledge throughout Term 1 to support yours and your classmates learning. Your task is to create a knowledge organiser to use in class. Think about the learning you did in class around using pictures and words to help us remember information. If you want to create anything in addition to your knowledge organiser, or bring photos, artwork etc. which link to your theme, your new teachers would be delighted! We will be using and displaying your work throughout the term.

Please bring your learning into school on Tuesday 3rd September to share with your new teacher and classmates.

Week beginning 24th June 2024

As much as we have loved the sun the heat is starting to get a bit too much. However, this has not stopped us from working hard. We have created working machines in Art that use pulleys and screws. Meanwhile in History, we have started researching the Indus Valley and finding out about their peaceful ways. In English, we have delved deeper into the city with Varjak and made new friends allowing for us to retell parts of the story from their eyes. Finally, sports day is just around the corner and the excitement is building, we had the rehearsal and now we can't want to show everyone what we can do.
