The Virtues and Values for this half term are faith-filled and hopeful.

We are growing to be faith-filled by living life as God would want us to live it; and hopeful by putting our trust in ourselves/others, and never giving up.  

Our class saint is St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. We continue to think about how we can be kind to others and spread Gods love the way that he did.

Our unit for this term is 'Sharing Jesus' life', which will develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the way in which, as Christians, we
are called to share in the life of Jesus. The unit focuses on Jesus choosing and calling the disciples and how they are an example to us of what it means to be a disciple or follower of Jesus and share in his life.

Each week, a child who has been noticed for displaying beautiful behaviour and well-presented hard work throughout each school day will be rewarded with our class friend Doogie. In normal circumstances, this would mean that Doogie is sent to your home for a weekend adventure however, due to covid-19 safety precautions, I will not be sending Doogie to homes until it is a safer time to do so. Instead, your child will be rewarded with a Doogie certificate/star prize and celebration in class.

Stomp, crash and roar! Watch out – there are dinosaurs about! Yes, that’s right, our brand new 'Dinosaur Planet' topic, will be allowing us to travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.

We’ll look closely at ancient fossils and study reptiles to understand how dinosaurs may have lived and eventually died out. We’ll learn about the great fossil hunter, Mary Anning, and follow in her footsteps, studying dinosaur teeth and bones to find out what dinosaurs liked to eat. Learning dinosaur names, creating puzzling riddles, writing fantastic fact files and creating exciting dinosaur stories are some of the other activities we’ll be involved in during Summer 2. We’ll use our artistic skills to make model dinosaurs and to design dinosaur landscapes.

In science we will learn about the four seasons being the divisions of a year, which are marked by changes in weather and hours of daylight, and hours of darkness.
