Curriculum Overview
Mother's Day Breakfast
Thursday 12th June 2025
Dear parents and carers,
It was lovely to see so many dads at the Fathers’ Day Breakfast earlier this week. We hope you enjoyed your time in our classroom and learnt something new about The power of Five and how to deal with confrontations.
This week, we also visited Kent Life and had a fabulous time being entertained by the Roman actors. We also had time to meet some of the animals and enjoy the beautiful weather.
In English, we have looked further into the character of Edward and his reaction to certain traumatic incidents. The children have written diary extracts in role as Edward using conjunctions and adverbs and used thesauruses to up-level their vocabulary.
In Maths, we have started our new topic on Shape. Next week we will be looking more closely at right angles, comparing angles and parallel and perpendicular lines.
In Science, we have been learning about different light sources and that light travels in straight lines. The children are very excited about all the hands-on activities that they will be doing in this topic!
Thank you and have a wonderful week.
Mrs Nash, Mrs Britton and Mr Nunn
