Term 3
Welcome back to Term 3! We hope you and your families had a wonderful festive break and are ready for 2026.
This term, our Geography focus will be Rainforests and our English text, ‘What the Macaw Saw’, will inspire us to write creatively, in the setting of a jungle. Our Geography learning will involve information about the location of rainforests, how rainforests have changed over time, inhabitants and settlements in rainforests and the current climate around deforestation.
Elsewhere, in Art, the children will explore collage by focusing in on two key artists; Elizabeth St Hilaire and Clare Youngs. The children will focus on creating their own sample paper, using mixed media, before transforming their artwork into an animal.
In Maths, we will continue learning about fractions before learning to convert into decimals and percentages. We will then move on to geometry, covering properties of shape, angles, area, perimeter and volume.
Finally, throughout the school week, the children will continue to have two P.E sessions; one with their class teacher and one with Mr Samaras, our P.E Specialist. For these sessions, the children will need to come to school in their P.E. kits. Please find P.E. days, listed below:
- Mondays – Malago & Severn Class
- Wednesdays – ALL Year 5&6 Classes
- Fridays – Avon & Hazelbrook Class
What a fun time we are going to have!
