The Staff:

Mrs Sarchet and Mr Amin welcome you to Spring 3. We are always more than happy to speak to you about your child, just catch us at the door at drop off or home time, or call and make an appointment.

The Children:

We call ourselves The Curious and Creative Tribe. We love our learning to be active and engaging. We've explored muscles by making our own hand, wrist and arm! We have learned about rocks and fossils by creating our own using chocolate - we may have eaten them too! We are looking forward to delving into the bronze age, making our own pop-up cards and learning all about magnets.

Together we follow the school vision - eyes wide open, arms outstretched, curious minds aiming high- and create a classroom where every child can thrive and RAISE.

What we are reading:

This half term we are reading Anisha: Accidental Detective by Serena Patel. Your child also has weekly access to our wonderful school library where they can choose a book to read for pleasure.

Forest School & PE

Children will have PE on Wednesdays and Thursdays. As our uniform policy states, children are expected to wear their PE uniform and trainers every day for school. This ensures children are able to take part in our Mindful Mile everyday in the appropriate attire.

Our Learning

This term, in English, we will be looking at Discussion texts, and looking at for and against arguments for whether the Big Bad Wolf should be jailed. Following that, we will begin to look at a warning story - The Canal - focusing on how to show action in our writing.

In maths, we will be looking at statistics, pictographs and bar graphs. After that, we will begin learning about fractions. Every morning, your child will complete Fluent in 5 - 5 arithmetic style questions. They're getting really good at this!

In science, we will be learning about flowers and how they are structured, and how water is transported in plants. We will also be learning about the many different seed dispersal methods!

For history, we are going to be learning about the cotton mill industry in Accrington and the impact it had on the area.

In DT, the children will be designing and making their own desk tidies! We can't wait to see the children's creations.

What an exciting term we have ahead!
