Welcome to Jasmine Class!

Important Notes for Jasmine Class:
Summer Term
In English this term we will mainly be looking at the fairytale 'Little Red Riding Hood' and the children will use their writing skills to update and 'improve' the story, section by section. The children will also write a recount of their trip to Newarke Houses Museum and a letter to their new teacher at their new junior school. We will also be focusing on learning spelling rules this term, in particular when to use different suffixes.
In Maths this term, we study measuring in different ways, including length, height, capacity, mass and temperature. We will then finish by learning about position and direction.
During Science we will explore different materials and their properties, resulting in the children using their scientific knowledge to test and choose the most suitable material to design and make a 'new bookbag'. Then we will move on to look at plants, and what they need to survive . In History, we are starting a new topic based on the question 'How have toys changed within living memory?'. As part of this, we will have a very exciting trip to Newarke Houses Museum for a toy workshop, where we will be able to learn about (and play with!) lots of toys from different eras.
Other subjects will include:
- In PE we will look at invasion games and learn the basics of basketball.
- In Computing we will learn how to paint and design on a laptop.
- In Music we will compose our own pieces of music and learn how to use notes to write our own music.
- We'll also have RE, PSHE, Art and Forest School activities too!
It's going to be a very busy term!
