Summer Term 

Our theme this term is ‘Growth’.  We will be sharing fiction and non-fiction texts exploring personal growth and resilience. We will think about how can we grow as a person emotionally, personally and socially.

We will be exploring the theme across a range of areas and inspired by our Summer Bookshelf which is filled with exciting, high-quality texts.
