Summer 2
6.6.25
We’ve had a fantastic start to the second half of the summer term and it’s been lovely to see all the children return full of energy and enthusiasm for their learning.
In writing, we’ve started a brand-new book called The Disgusting Sandwich. The children have thoroughly enjoyed diving into the story. They have spent time reflecting on what they liked about the book and have started story mapping to help them understand the sequence of events. Using this as inspiration, the children have written their own setting descriptions, focusing on expanded noun phrases and exciting adjectives to bring their ideas to life.
In Maths, we have continued our learning about fractions. The children have been working hard to find a quarter of a number, as well as learning to recognise and find a third. There’s been some brilliant problem-solving and teamwork on display as they’ve tackled fraction challenges with growing confidence.
In Science, our new topic is all about food chains. The children have learned how energy is passed along a food chain and have been introduced to key vocabulary including producer, primary consumer, and secondary consumer. They’ve enjoyed exploring how plants and animals depend on each other for survival.
In Design and Technology, we’ve kicked off our exciting new project – making a felt bag for a teddy! This week, we’ve been busy conducting product research to find out the strengths and weaknesses of different types of bags. The children explored different designs and thought carefully about materials, fastenings, and decorations. We’re looking forward to seeing their creative ideas come to life over the next few weeks.
