April News 

It’s hard to believe we are already in Summer Term. Thankfully the sun has started shining and we are managing to get outside a lot more.

The children have been working incredibly hard and have produced some fantastic writing based on our English text Bubbles. Their ideas and creativity have really shone through.

In Maths, we have continued developing our calculation skills. We have been adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Please keep using TTRS at home to support multiplication and division—these can be tricky concepts, but regular practice makes a big difference.

We have also been learning to add on number lines up to 20 and drawing abstract number lines to help us.

In Science, we have been exploring plants. We have planted a variety of seeds and we will be continuing to look after these so that we grow some of our own fruits and vegetables. We have labelled the different parts of a plant and we are also learning about the jobs of these plant parts.

In DT, we have been learning the difference between fruits and vegetables, where they grow, and how we can tell them apart. We have begun tasting and testing different fruits and fruit drinks as we build up to designing and making our own smoothies next week. Delicious!

Thank you for your continued support with homework and reading. The phonics screening check will take place in June, so please keep reading regularly at home.
