In Spanish, we are starting to learn the names of jungle animals and trying to sing the songs in Spanish.

We continue to learn about polysyllabic words in Phonics.  

Outdoor Learning will move to a Friday until the end of the Summer term.

Please continue to listen to your child read and practice tackling tables.

This half term in Eagles it's all about Plants.  We are combining our Science, DT, Literacy and Outdoor Learning lessons to help shape our writing, run experiments and investigations as well as taste and grow!

In Geography we are learning about the British Isles.

We are learning about new beginnings in RE and how this is celebrated in different religions and countries.

In Music we are listening to new sounds, instruments and styles.

In DT we spent our first lesson discussing dips and dippers, we tried lots of new shapes and textures and spent time learning what each dip was made from.  Everyone was amazing at trying everything.
