'Our Changing World'

The children want to learn about how we can look after our World.

We will learn about pollution and recycling.

We will learn about Endangered animals around the World.

Amazing Me!

The children have used their pupil voice to make choices about what they would like to learn within our topic!

We will be learning about:

Our emotions
What makes us happy
Our local area
Our family and friends
How to stay healthy

We were very lucky to have 'Little Angel Theatre' visit for a Reading through Play workshop. We joined in with actions and puppets and made the story fun and exciting.

We support the Charity 'Children in Need'.

We have been using our number skills to measure different objects.

We learnt about 'Remembrance Day'. We made beautiful Poppies.

We tasted different fruits and sorted them into sweet and sour.

Kerbcraft visited to help us learn how to safely cross the road.

We enjoyed the story 'Oliver's Vegetables.'

We compared different vegetables and tasted some that were in the book.

We put on our wellies and planted trees in our new forest area.

We will enjoy watching the trees grow.

We wonder how tall they will be when we are in Year 6!

We made a Fruit Smoothie.

WATER BOTTLES/ Poteli Dwr

We are trying to reduce the number of bottles we throw away so are encouraging the children to bring a water bottle to school or buy a Greenway one for £1.50, available from the school office. They can keep this in class and re hydrate throughout the day.

Summer Term

This term we will be learning about 'All our Yesterdays'

We will compare houses and homes today and in the past. We will look at how life has changed over the years.

We went around our School to make sure it is clean and tidy.

We found some rubbish and then sorted what could be recycled.

Spring Term

This term our context for learning is

'Planes, Trains and Automobiles'

We will learn about different modes of transport on land, sea and air.

We will look at how it has changed through the years.

We did a survey of the different cars in the School car park to find out which is the most popular colour. It seems that White is the favourite!

We read the book 'Emma Jane's aeroplane'. In the book she travelled all over the world on an adventure. She visited many special Landmarks in cities across the World. She saw Big Ben in London, the Eiffel tower in Paris, the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Opera House in Sydney.

We used the VR Goggles to look at some of these Landmarks. It was amazing!
