Summer Term 

During the Summer term we will be using some different texts to support our learning starting with 'The King Who Banned The Dark'.  We will be working on writing our own letters to the King persuading him not to ban the dark and also retelling the story accurately using the writing features we have been learning about.  

Maths

In maths this term we will be learning all about the different units of measure and trying to solve lots of measure problems including length and height, time, mass, capacity and temperature. 

Geography

We will be learning all about the 5 continents of the world this term.  By the end of the year, we will be able to name all of the continents and locate them on a world map.  We will also learn about the equator and compare hot and cold areas of the world.

Science

Our focus for the first half term will be Plants.  Throughout the term we will be learning what plants need to grow and investigating what happens to plants if one of those things are missing.  

After half term, we will be moving on to apply all of our learning about animals and humans from the course of the year so far to studying different life cycles.
