Spring Term Curriculum and Learning

Information for parents about what pupils are learning this term.

Happy New Year! It is lovely to see all the children back in school after a super Christmas holiday.

We started the new term off with our ‘It’s a Masterpiece’ Arts Week, focussing on improving our drawing skills to produce some excellent work. Each class has been at a different still life masterpiece and they are busy carefully selecting objects to arrange for their own still life composition. It’s clear the children are enjoying this and we are looking forward to seeing all their wonderful work which will be on display throughout the school corridors in the next couple of couple. We will make sure that parents have an opportunity to look at the work too.   

Next week, all the children will start their new topics for the term and there will be lots of geography work focussing on the physical nature of our wonderful planet. Here are the Big Questions and links to curriculum newsletters for parents with details of what the children will be learning.
