We have had a great start to the Spring term with our art theme days based on our ‘Hopes and Dreams’ for the future, as well as Takeover Day.  We are looking forward to sharing the children’s work and ideas with you.

This week, pupils are finding out about their new topics and they have been really enthralled by the activities teachers have planned to introduce the topics. Y1/2 have wadded through the muddy garden in their wellies looking for mysteriously disappearing leaves and Y5/6 have been creating mini volcanoes and making them explode!

Here are the Big Questions and links to curriculum newsletters for parents with details of what the children will be learning about.

Year 5/6 – Upper Key Stage 2 - What makes the Earth angry? (Volcanoes and Earthquakes)

Year 3/4 – Lower Key Stage 2 - Why is water so important?

Year 1/2 - Key Stage 1 - Where have all the leaves gone?
