Spring Term 2024
Living On The Edge - our geography topic for this term will have us looking at earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. We will be discovering how these are formed, what happens during and after each event and the impact they have on the world. The first unit of our writing will link in with an explanation text detailing how and why a volcano erupts!
A Question of Digestion - diving into the workings of what happens to our food after we have eaten it! Starting with food chains and food webs, we move onto the function of our teeth and then through the different organs used in the process of turning our food into energy.
'So you want to be a firework maker? Step into my flames...'
Our text for Guided Reading and for some of our English writing is based on this book by Philip Pullman. We follow Lila on her journey and then have a go at writing our own chapter.
Listen To Me Lessons
On Thursday mornings we have Mrs Prest, a teacher from Hampshire Music Service, come in to teach us - over the year we will learn to play different instruments!
This term we are onto playing instruments from the brass family - each child has either a trombone, a baritone or a cornet to master. Our end of term concert will be on Thursday 21st March at 10am in the school hall.
