Topic for this term and things you can do at home:
This half term our topic is Rule Britannia. In history we will be learning about famous kings and queens of Britain, as well as
celebrating our current Queen. In Art we will be looking at the different types of famous buildings around Britain, focussing on
the shapes we can see in each building. In literacy we will be looking at a variety of sensory poems, and learning about rhyming
words. If you have any poetry books at home please share them with your child and see if you can look at the words that rhyme
(if they do!). In our independence sessions this half term we are working on shopping for ingredients to make healthy colourful
rice. We will then be cooking and tasting this rice, whilst working on our cooking, chopping and peeling skills. This half term we
will cover an RE topic instead of Science, where our focus is learning about all the things Sikh’s believe. As you can see we have
another busy half term!
