SUMMER TERM

 

Welcome back! We are now in our final term of the academic year, I think you’ll agree this year has flown by!

 

This term our topic is ‘Hot and Cold’. We will be using our geography skills to learn more about places in the world. We will learn about the seven continents and zoom in on some hot and cold countries within the continents. We will learn about these countries, their location, why they are the temperature they are as well as what it is like to live there.

 

In literacy we are continuing to develop our writing skills by the introduction of some new Mastery Keys (writing targets). We will be basing our writing around a book, ‘The Last Wolf’, to help develop our skills. In maths everything we have learnt over the past year will hopefully come together and we will be able to answer more complex calculations and maths problems.

 

Science will see us learning about living things and their habitats and design and technology will be teaching us about a balanced diet (continuing our science work from the previous term).

 

At the start of this new term was our ‘Pupil of the Week’ reward where the children are rewarded for their choices in and out of school. The children had an amazing day at William’s den. This term it would be lovely to see more children attend the next reward in July. You can help your child attend the award by: reading with them three times a week and encouraging them to practise their times tables (either on the Westcliffe Rock Star sheets or on the app for the 1/2 classes). The two things we ask will take up 30 minutes in total but will benefit your child’s learning greatly as well as help achieve eligibility for the reward.
