Current Learning

Our topic for term 5 will be 'How Big is my World?'. This will have a geography focus, where the children will expand and apply their understanding of locational and place knowledge relating to and drawing comparisons between Brazil and Italy. We will use what we have leant to produce some extended pieces of writing in order to demonstrate the children’s learning. We will also add to our locational knowledge with a trip out to exotic Uckfield! This trip is actually designed as a life skills lesson, where we will be encouraging the children to plan their own routes using public transport, buy their own tickets and travel independently (there will be adult support and supervision) to Luxford park.

We do have SATs in term 5 which will 12th-15th May. We try and keep this as calm and pressure free as possible and the children will be fully supported at every step. As an added extra during that week, we will be offering the children access to a daily free SATs breakfast which is a wonderful time every morning for them to socialise with their friends and prepare for the day ahead - as well as eat pancakes, croissants, brioche and bacon sandwiches!! More details to follow.

Finally, we have the Year 6 production to look forward to and the children will be finding out what this year's extravaganza will be in the last week of term. There are roles for everyone - on stage, backstage or front of house - and the children will have time with their Director, Mrs Owbridge, to find out about all the excitement to come.
