What will we learn in Summer 1?

In our Maths sessions this half term, we will be diving into Fractions.

We will be learning to:

Find fractions of an amount

Manipulate fractions, decimals and percentages

Find the perimeter and area of shapes

Our Curriculum driver for this half term is Geography:

In Geography,  pupils will explore the impact of people on the environment, locally and on a global scale. We will explore pollution from different perspectives and using different sources, considering their own views and the views of others to discuss topical issues such as global warming. Pupils will consider their own responsibility when it comes to looking after their local environment and the planet.

This half term in Science, we will be continuing our investigation into properties of materials. More specifically, we will be exploring how we can separate combined materials by filtering, sieving and evaporating.

In RE, we are exploring how Hindu truths are transmitted using stories. We will learn about Brahman, Vishnu, and Avatar (especially Krishna).

This half term we will be developing our skills in Cricket.

We will also be running catch up swimming lessons on Tuesday morning (parents/carers of the children involved have been contacted).

Our PE day this half term is Tuesday.

Please ensure your child attends school in full PE kit on these days: plain dark jogging bottoms, a plain white t-shirt, school jumper/hoodie and coomfortable trainers.

Homework will be set weekly on SeeSaw (click the logo to access).

The children will be set a spelling task, a reading task, a maths task and an optional maths game. These should be completed at returned by the following Monday to allow time for marking and feedback before the next task is set. If you require paper copies of these activities, please let Miss Parr know and we will arrange for a printed copy to be available each week.

Please see Miss Parr for more infomation if you need it.
