Summer Term

Our theme this term is Curiosity. The inspirational texts on our summer bookshelf will inspire our learning across the curriculum. We will look at the world through the inquisitive eyes of Ada Twist who loved to detect and solve problems.

We will consider Beegu’s first impression of planet earth and explore the similarities and differences of life in outer space and planet earth using the book The Darkest Dark. In Science we will use our curiosity to investigate how seeds and bulbs grow. We will enter the abstract world of Jackson Pollock and create our own abstract art piece. We will delve into the enchanted world of fairytales through ‘Little Red Reading Hood’, a twist on the traditional tale loved by many. In History the children will be learning about female monarchs and answering the end point question: what can we learn about female monarchs from what has been left behind.
