Welcome

Summer 2024

Our journey.

In Summer Term the Reception children will be focusing on the different modes of transport and their first book will be 'The man on the moon.'

In Year 1/2 the children will be looking at the history of transport alongside using transport themed books to inspire their story writing. 

Science is going to be very exciting learning about lots of different life cycles and the habitats of different animals.

In PE we will be getting ready for Sports Day and gaining water confidence in our swimming lessons.  There are also lots of other exciting things to learn in all the other subjects, which you can find out more information on in the termly overview. 

We are looking forward (hopefully) to the beautiful Summer weather to allow our learning to happen in all areas of our school grounds.
