English

Maths 

The children have been learning about capacity and volume this week and they know that the units we measure these in are called

millilitres (ml) and litres (l). They have also been reading different scales on measuring containers

and solving problems involving capacity/volume.

Science

We carried out an investigation to find out about properties of materials.

R.E

We read the story of John the Baptist (Luke 3:2-6, 10-17).

The children produced some beautifully illustrated storyboards retelling how John Baptised Jesus at the river Jordon.

Art

Our new topic is all about architecture and during our first lesson we explored how to draw/design buildings.

The children drew the Taj Mahal and were very proud of their finished products.

Forest School

We used the digging tools safely in our nature area. We were very careful to not step on the daffodils and crocuses which have started growing.

Geography

This term we will be learning about the weather, climate and seasons.

We discussed the seasons and recapped ordering the months of the year correctly.

Practise the months of the year at home and make sure your child knows the date of their birthday and any other significant dates.
