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

Term 1 2026

Topic

Our topic this term is:

‘Did the Stone Age rock?’

Owls are heading back in time this term to the Stone Age! They’ll uncover how early humans lived, explore ancient tools and shelters and discover what daily life was really like thousands of years ago.

 Maths

In maths, we're going to be learning about place value before moving on to some addition and subtraction.

 Science

We will be exploring the Big Ideas that ‘Living and non-living things can be grouped in a variety of ways’ and ‘The diversity of organisms, living and extinct, is the result of evolution’. The children will learn how rocks are classified, how fossils are formed and what they tell us about the past!

PE

PE will be on a Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Children should bring in their PE kit (Plimsolls/trainers, shorts/tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt and jumper) at the beginning of the term or on PE days.

Please note, children with earrings need to be able to remove them themselves prior to PE due to health and safety.

Homework

I will be sending out this term’s homework grid on Friday 4^th September. This grid will consist of tasks and activities that are linked to the topics that we are learning this term.

Each piece will be worth house points and it is up to you and your child how many you complete over the coming weeks. Please ask or email me if you have any questions.

Reading, Spellings and Times Tables

Please try to read with your child every day, either their book from school or a book of your choice from home. Writing a note confirming this will allow your child to receive dojo points and rewards! 

Each week, your child will have some spellings to practice at home. We will complete a spelling test on a Friday. Dojos will be awarded for those that get 8 or more or improve on their previous score.

In addition to these, we are having a push towards learning times tables this year. Each week, the children will be practicing a particular times table in class. Continuing this learning at home will benefit your child’s learning. TTRS and Hit the Button are great for practicing these.
