This page is dedicated to all the exciting things we will be doing in class this year.

Term 5 2025

Our topic this term is Would you find a Komodo Dragon in Ash? We will be looking at animals, where they live and why they live there this term! This topic gives a lot of opportunity for geographical exploration and learning. We will also be looking how to write a letter and learning how to use an Atlas.

Maths

This term we will be learning about mass and capacity and also furthering our knowledge of fractions.

Science

Our science topic this term is all about bones, muscles and nutrients. We will explore why our bones help us, how our muscles help us move and what nutrients animals and humans need to survive and grow strong!

PE

PE will be on a Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon, so PE kit (Plimsolls/trainers, shorts/tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt and jumper) will need to be in school ready to use on these days. Please note, children with earrings need to remove them prior to PE due to health and safety. In PE this term we will be doing net and wall games.

 Outdoor learning

If you wish to you can also leave a pair of trousers and outdoor footwear here with us for when we use the forest school area.

Reading and spellings

Please try to read with your child every day, either their book from school or a book of your choice from home. Please try to make sure you sign their yellow reading record whenever your child reads! Each week, your child will have some spellings to practice at home. We will complete a spelling test on a Friday.

Homework

I will be handing out this term’s homework grid on Wednesday 23rd April. This grid will consist of tasks and activities that are linked to the topics that we are learning this term. Each topic will be worth 4 dojo points (this includes practicing the weeks spellings), and it is up to you and your child how many you complete over the next 6 weeks. If your child does not have a homework book, please let me know and I will provide one. My email is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
