Welcome to Spring 1 

I am pleased to be back with the children and am really looking forward to the term ahead. It is wonderful to see their enthusiasm for learning, and I am excited to support them as we work together through a fun and engaging term.

This term, we will be learning all about the United Kingdom. The children will explore the four countries that make up the UK and learn about their capital cities, flags, and key landmarks. We will also study a range of human features, such as cities, towns, bridges, and transport links, alongside physical features including rivers, mountains, coastlines, and hills. Through maps, photographs, and discussion, the children will develop their geographical knowledge and understanding of where these features are located.

In Design and Technology (DT), the children will be learning how to create different types of joins and think carefully about how materials are connected. In Maths, we will continue to develop our understanding of place value and learn how to use pictorial models to represent our answers clearly. For further details about our learning this term, please refer to the topic website on the class page. 

There is a Family Learning page below which provides fun activities to do with your children at home to enhance their learning, and we would love for you to share photos on Dojo once they have been completed.

Kind regards

Miss Portch
