Spring 2022
For National Science Week this week, Owls have been learning about 'air resistance'. As part of this investigation, they have been making and flying their own paper aeroplanes. We are investigating which aeroplane design is more aerodynamic. It is also important to ensure the wing size is sufficient the keep the plane up in the air for longer.

Dear Families,
Happy new year to you all! Hopefully, you've had a cheerful, relaxing time over the Christmas break. However, it is definitely good to finally be back at school and back to learning in this new (and hopefully healthy) year.

Our daily lessons include maths (plus mental maths), SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) and writing, whole class reading. We will also be studying music, science, ICT, Spanish, Art/DT, PE and RE. See details below.
Maths: Multiplication and Division / Measurement: Length and Perimeter / Statistics
Writing: Balanced Argument (Discussion) and Recount (newspaper report)
SPaG: Adverbs / Adverbial Phrases / Formal vs Informal Language / Conjunctions
Whole Class Reading: The Explorer, Katherine Rundell
Science: Electricity
PE: Gymnastics / Cricket
Music: Singing in a round
Spanish: Phonics

RE: Islam
A new term = a new topic which is: 'Extreme Weather'
We will be learning about hurricanes/tornadoes, flooding, heatwave/drought and other extreme weather conditions that cause havoc and harm to our environment. We will explore the long term effects that weather has on communities, habitats and our earth. We will also explore what we (humans) have done to cause global warming and climate change as well as what we could do to reduce it.
Things to remember:
Water bottle / PE kit (bring in before Thursday, take it home on Friday) / a coat
Tuesday: Forest School (bring kit in bag - dress at school)
Wednesday: Mrs Cooper teaching
Thursday: PE (gymnastics)*
Friday: PE (cricket)* / Bring in reading records
Kind regards,
Mrs Durman, Mrs Cooper and Miss Kogel x
