Welcome to Spring term! This term is very exciting as we will explore interesting topics and have lots of different visitors from our community. Parents will be invited to our second 'Open the Door' event where we will focus on the Mathematics curriculum.

Our topics this term will be:

• 'People Who Help Us'. We will have visitors come into school and tell us all about their jobs. We will learn why their jobs are important and how they help us and the community we live in.
• 'Space'. We will learn about the planets in our solar system, the moon landing in 1969 and listen to fictional stories such as Aliens Love Underpants and Whatever Next!
• 'Celebrations'. We will also continue to look at celebrations such as Chinese New Year, Mother's Day and Easter, and these are celebrated.

Please keep your eye on this page and Evidence Me for key information and to take a sneak peak at some of the fantastic learning that goes on inside and outside our classrooms.

If you have any questions please feel free to speak to a member of staff or you can email us at
