Multcultural week

Dear Durham Parents and Carers,
Welcome back! After a long holiday, we are excited to share with you our new topic for this term: ‘Bounce!’
In Literacy, we will be reading the story ‘The Frog Prince’ and using the text to examine grammar, punctuation, spelling, dramatisation, and creative writing.
We will also explore key features of an information text and examine various books about the rules of sport. We’ll have lots of fun making our own information book.
We will continue to teach and develop our Little Wandle Phonics scheme, in which we will aim to read three times a week and practice phonics daily.
In Maths, we will follow White Rose Maths, looking at place value by sorting objects, using the terms ‘fewer’, ‘more than’, and ‘equal to’. We will also learn more about addition and subtraction, building on the children’s knowledge to further develop these skills.
In science, we will engage in hands-on learning by exploring all kinds of balls. We will learn why they bounce and whether all balls bounce. We will also make our own balls using materials, from tin foil balls to bouncy and squeezy balls, ensuring a practical and fun learning experience.
In R.E., we will look at rules and routines in the classroom and at home, and then move on to the rules and routines of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Finally, in art, we will explore our topic of ‘Bounce’ as we draw, design, and make balls!
We will of course, be continuing to have fun and work hard in our daily task series, with lots of opportunities throughout the to practice and apply our leaning.
