Summer Term 2026 – Our topic this term is Scrumptious Garden!

This summer term, we’re diving into our exciting topic, Scrumptious Garden🌱🍓 We’ll be discovering a wonderful variety of plants, fruits, and vegetables, learning all about how they grow, and even planting some ourselves. As we get our hands dirty, we’ll explore what plants need to thrive and watch our garden come to life! 🌼🌿

In English this term, we’ll be exploring a rich collection of engaging and imaginative texts, including Grandad’s Camper by Harry Woodgate, Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, and The Great Fire of London by Emma Adams. Through these stories, pupils will journey across different themes—from heartwarming adventures and friendships to significant moments in history.These texts will inspire our creativity and curiosity, helping us to develop key reading skills such as comprehension, inference, and discussion. They will also provide exciting opportunities for writing, as we experiment with storytelling, descriptive language, and recounts based on real and fictional events.

 

Class Systems

Reading for Pleasure

We would encourage everyone to share books and read for pleasure at home as much as possible, revisiting favourite stories often.  Every Friday you can choose a class library book to take home to share and enjoy.  Please return this book the following week, ready to select a new library book.

 

Individual Reading

Reading of your individual reading book should be completed at least four times per week and recorded with a comment in the reading diary.  Remember you will be entered into the reading raffle if this has been completed and all of your reading will help us in the weekly reading challenge to be the class to complete the most reads in school.

 

Homework

We will send homework on a Friday and it needs to be returned by the following Thursday please. This will consist of the weekly spelling focus and learning our KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts) focus.
