Dear Parents,
Welcome to 2025! We will be returning for the spring term ready for a fun topic, βDo Cows Drink Milk?β
As a class, we will be exploring life on a farm, the animals living there, the names of their babies and the food that the farmers grow for us. In art, we will create a large-scale model of a farm and their animals using different boxes and exploring ways of attaching the legs, head and tails.
In literacy lessons, pupils will listen to rhymes about animals and farms, bringing books to life through sensory stories. These stories and rhymes will support our maths learning too!
In our music sessions, we will sing songs about the farm and shake our homemade seed shakers, creating loud and quiet sounds to different beats. Pupils will explore what foods from a farm we can use in the kitchen to create tasty recipes. Yummy!
We will be getting green fingered as we plant seeds and watch how they change over time, exploring the wildlife needed to help plants grow.
During the term, we plan to visit a local farm to take in the sights, sounds and smells. Weβll observe the different farm animals, crops and vehicles, and maybe even take a ride on a tractor!
Our daily task series programmes will continue, and we have a lot of exciting events coming up, including pancake day (yum!), World Book Day and, of course, Easter!
As always, if you have any questions at all, please donβt hesitate to get in contact.
Best wishes,
The Hardwick team
