Context for Learning
Our theme for Summer term is 'Going on a Journey'.
English
We will be enjoying texts under the theme of 'Going on a Journey' such as 'Toys in Space' and 'Goldilocks and Just the One Bear'. We will be focusing on:
- Joining words and clauses using 'and'.
- Punctuating sentences with a capital letter, full stops, exclamation marks and questions marks.
- Add suffixes to verbs where no change is needed to the root word (-ed,-er, -ing, -est)
- Change the meaning of words using the prefix 'un
History and Geography
Under the theme of 'Going on a Journey', we will be focusing on significant explorers in History and looking at the contrasts between our village of Christleton and a small village in Trinidad in Geography. Please see further information below.
Science
In Science, we are looking at plants. We will be looking at recognising and naming different plants and flowers, identifying decidious and evergreen trees and looking at the different parts of the structure of a flower and tree. We will also be using our working scientifically skills to observe and record changes.
Maths
In Maths we are looking at fractions, such as halves and quarters, multiplication, division, time and money.

Supporting at Home
