Autumn Term 1 2025

Curriculum

This half term we will be focusing on the topic of Rainforests! As part of this learning, the children will explore the Amazon Rainforest, including its location and the unique animals and features of this area, as well as deforestation and consequences of this. In DT, the children will apply their knowledge to make a Rainforest automata animal. To further explore our topic, the children will be reading The Explorer, by Catherine Rundell, in English lessons and using this to support our writing.

PE 

Miss Porter's PE days are Monday and Friday.

Mrs Martin and Mrs Kirkham's PE days are Monday and Friday.

Please ensure that your child's PE kid remains in school throughout the week.

Homework

All homework is set on a Monday and will be due the following Monday.

The children have homework set weekly, in either English and mathematics.

We also encourage the children to read three times weekly, as part of our Regular Readers competition.

Spellings are also given out weekly, on a Monday, and will be tested on the following Monday; the spelling rule linked to the weekly spellings is taught by the class teacher.

The children also need to play on TTRS each week as part of their homework.
