We have been very busy in Summer 1 and have produced some wonderful narratives based on The Robot and the Bluebird.  We have also enjoyed learning about the geography of our local area and how the land is used. In science we learnt about different animals and what they like to eat. We particularly enjoyed our art lessons where we learnt about mixing different hues of colours. We have had many enjoyable PE lessons outside improving our ball skills and team buildings. 

Global theme: Sustainable Development 

What makes the world beautiful? 

Our focus in history and geography will be recognising human and physical features and how the seaside has changed throughout the years. We will visit Cleethorpes and explore human and physical features during our exciting learning experience. We will then make a class project of a seaside based on Cleethorpes. We will include: the sea, a pier, a beach, a cliff, rock pools, grasslands, and many human features. In History we will begin to learn about how seaside holidays have changed over the years. We will compare pictures and focus on how clothes, travel and entertainment has changed throughout the years. 

English 

In English we will focus on the features of non-fiction texts and explore using suffixes and conjuctions throughout. We will write our very own recount based on our visit to Cleethorpes. We will also use the book ‘Clean Up!’ as our stimulus for writing a narritive. In bookstudy we will be reading Somebody Swallowed Stanley (Sarah Roberts) and Stella and the Seagull (Stevens) which will allow us to explore our global theme further. 

Maths 

In maths, we will be focusing on place value within 100, making sure the children are secure with this key concept as they prepare to move to Y2. Then we will introduce the children to money and telling the time to the nearest half an hour. Remember to support your child with their counting to 50 and recognising/writing those numbers. 

Science 

We will learn about the summer season and recognise garden plants. We will learn about what food we can grow in our school garden, before tasting it to understand the whole growing process. We will learn about the summer season and recognise garden plants. We will learn about what food we can grow in our school garden, before tasting it to understand the whole growing process. The children will also be conducting experiments: discovering floating and sinking, investigating different surfaces and finding out what happens to different materials when we bury them. 

Visits 

We will be visiting Cleethorpes to complete Geography fieldwork and immerse ourselves in our History topic.  

Home Learning 

It is expected that all children read at home at least 5 times a week. Reading records are collected in and after 40 readers every child will be able to choose a book to take home! 

Please ensure your child’s book bag is in school daily so their book can be changed. 

For your information 

PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Children should come to school in the correct PE kit.
