It is lovely to welcome you all back to the start of our final half term and I am looking forward to continuing to prepare your child for their transition to Year 2 in September.

To begin this half term in English, we’ll be exploring the book ‘Lost and Found’ a story about a penguin who gets lost and is helped by a boy to find his way back to the South Pole.  We will then move onto ‘Dragon Post’ a story about a boy who finds a dragon living under the stairs.  He isn’t sure what to do but, luckily, he knows just who to ask for help. In Maths, we will be focusing on place value within 100, before moving on to measurement where we will be concentrating on money and time. 

Our History topic is ‘Why did Emmeline stop a tram at Heaton Park in Bury in 1908?’ where we will be learning all about Emmeline Pankhurst and how she is famous.  In Science our topic is ‘Plants’ where we will identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees.  We will learn how to identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees.  In RE our question is ‘How should we care for the world and for others, and why does it matter?’

We will also take part in our wonderful Music lessons with Mrs Higson on a Friday and heart pumping PE sessions with a Coach Josh on a Monday.
