Summer Term 2026

Welcome back to school and summer term 1!
We have lots to look forward to including our History trip to Mrs Smith’s cottage on Thursday 30th April.

In English, we have started reading the familiar fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. We have described the story characters - including the helpful and the mean, scary Wolf! We enjoyed exploring lots of woodland foliage and wrote some lovely sentences to describe the forest. Including the beautiful flowers, soft moss and bumpy, rough sticks and twigs.

In Maths, we have finished learning about volume and capacity. We compared the capacity of different containers and used our problem solving skills to accurately find out how many cups would fill the containers. We finished the week by counting in twos. We counted pairs of socks and used skip counting to help us. Look out for opportunities to count in pairs - count shoes, gloves, earrings!

In PSHE, we have continued our learning on how to healthy and safe. We sensibly thought about safe and unsafe objects we may find in our home. In Geography, we recapped learning in the continents. We were all really interested in the different countries in Europe. Take time to look at the map and see if you’ve visited any of the countries. We also went on a cartoon adventure with the Go Jetters characters to see what we could find out about the continent of Africa and how it was different to Europe. In Science, we were very knowledgeable about mammals and made a great start learning about animals.

We finished our first week with our whole school exciting RE Holi festival! What a super and busy first week back.
