Summer Term 2, 2025

This term in English we will be working on an amazing book called, 'Gregory Cool' by Caroline Binch.  We will analyse the language, make inferences and predictions and create our own pieces of writing based on this 'fantastic' book. We will build on this learning in guided reading where we will be looking at an inspiring book called, 'Young, Gifted and Black' and have a specific focus on VIPERS (vocabulary, inference, prediction, explain, retrieve and summarise).

For P.E this term, we will be exploring athletics practice and striking and fielding games, including cricket. Our P.E kits therefore will need to be brought in on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please make sure you bring the correct uniform for this and consider the weather for these warmer months.

Our history topic is looking at the Anglo-Saxons. We will be using both primary and secondary sources to learn about this civilisation and having some hands on experience to really dive deep into this topic. 

In music, we will be having special weekly lessons with Mrs Head on the recorder.

In science, we will be exploring the digestive system and deforestation. We will conduct a number of experiments to deepen and support our understanding of the digestive system and encounter a number of case studies in our deforestation learning.
