The summer term topics are well underway and the children are looking forward to a busy term of exciting events and trips. The Y3/4 pupils have already enjoyed a Viking Tale performed by a theatre company to launch their topic and our reception pupils have been fascinated by the frog spawn in our pond - which they have taken back to their classrooms so they can watch its transformation.  In addition to the main topics, the summer term is when we also focus on keeping healthy and safe and we have some exciting work on food planned as well as a lot of sporting activities. In addition, our Y5 pupils are taking part in Bikeability and our Reception pupils are taking part in Balanceability.

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 - Does the punishment always fit the crime? And, Shakespeare

Year 3/4 – Lower Key Stage 2 – Were the Vikings vicious?  

Year 1/2 - Key Stage 1 – Why do we like to be beside the seaside?
