Summer Term 1
A TASTE OF ITALY
This half term we will be studying Italy; looking at it's physical geography and what the different areas have to offer tourists to the country. We will be exploring a range of famous landmarks and writing persuasive texts to encourage visitors to them.
Our art is also connected to our Italian theme, with learning how to draw self portraits and then adding them in to a watercolour painting of an Italian landmark to create a 'selfie'.
Our Guided Reading text this term is Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo which will also connect with both persuasive and diary writing in English.
This term in Listen to Me we are learning to play our final instrument of the year - the ukulele!
Mrs Prest will be back in on Thursday mornings for our music lessons and the end of term concert is booked in for Thursday 14th July at 10am.
