Information for Parents
Everyday we start at 8.45 am. We finish school at 3.15 pm.
Our PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. On this day, children need to ensure their PE kit is in school and no jewellery is worn.
Our Curriculum
Our topic: Around the world
This term our topic in Apricot Class is 'Around the World'.
In Geography, we will name and locate the main cities and rivers of the United Kingdom, locate countries on a map, specifically where Phileas Fogg has visited in the book 'Around the World in 80 days'. We will also identify the position and significance of the
Equator, Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
In History, we will be learning about how the railways have developed and changed over time. Included in this, we will be creating a timeline of the earliest railways until present day.
Our Science unit this term is 'Forces and Magnets'. We will compare how things move on different surfaces, observe how magnets attract or repel each other and how they attract some materials and not others. We will also compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials.
We are excited to visit 'The Museum of Power' this term to consolidate our learning about forces in Science.
In D.T we will be cooking a variety of foods from around the world, specifically from countries where Phileas Fogg visited.
In Art, we will be sketching, using soft grades of pencil to create darker and mid tones by changing the pressure or by gradually layering pigment. We will also be painting and printing Indian designs, recognising that the surface of a print plate creates a positive print.
We look forward to showing you what we have learnt.
