We will be starting our new topic exploring fairy tales/traditional tales. We will be researching and comparing these stories and creating posters to show the key features including repeated phrases, characters and settings.
In phonics, we will be reviewing all of the sounds we have learnt this year in preparation for the phonics screening check.
Don’t forget to review the sounds and tricky words in the front of the reading records whenever you read with your child.
Non pupil day Monday 1st June 2026
Phonics screening check week beginning 8th June 2026

We will be starting a new unit in Maths with a focus on place value for numbers up to 100. We will practise counting up to 100 both in ones and then in tens. We will also be learning how to partition any given number into tens and ones.
| In science we will be learning about the life cycle of a plant.
In PSHE we will be exploring the life cycle of both animals and humans. In geography we will be finding out about different types of homes linked to our work on fairy tales/traditional tales. In mindfulness we will be exploring resilience. We will be learning through a story and games that it’s important to never give up and to always try our best. It is not the winning that counts but the effort and determination that goes into everything that we do. |
