Edinburgh Class can hardly believe weβve reached our final term of the school year already! Itβs flown by, but weβre all very excited about our new topic, βSpiritβ.
We will be learning all about the Olympics and Paralympics, both modern and ancient, and learning about the different countries that have hosted the games over the years. We are all looking forward to our PE sessions, where we will learn the rules of different Olympic sports, and create our own sport, with its own set of rules!
We were able to meet a Paralympian, called Ellie Simpson, who received medals for her sport, Frame Running. This was very exciting, and we enjoyed creating questions to ask her about her life!
We will also learn about other Olympians and Paralympians and decide who deserves to win a βSporting Heroβ award. In English, we will write a persuasive piece about why we think they should win, using clicker to help us.
In Music, Drama and Art, we will be watching clips from different Olympic opening ceremonies and will create music and dance for our own ceremony. We will design and create our own gold medals.
In Maths, there will be a continued focus on our basic skills, which will help us throughout our lives, particularly number recognition, addition and subtraction. We will also learn about time.
In addition to this, daily task series programmes will continue, and we have a lot of exciting events coming up, including Growing Up Days, Sports Day and our end of year Music Festival.
Everyone in Edinburgh Class is ready and excited for this new term.
Please do get in touch with us, if you have any questions!
