This term, our topic is 'A Greek Odyssey'

 

This term, our topic is 'A Greek Odyssey' where the children will be learning all about the Ancient Greeks! Within this topic, they will learn all about the Ancient Greeks, including their daily life;  myths and legends; art work; pottery and the Olympics. The children will learn about some of the foods which the Ancient Greeks ate and, through their Design and Technology unit, sample some Greek recipes before designing and making Greek inspirited food of their own.

 

To find out more about what we will be covering in each subject this term, please read our 'Spring Term Curriculum letter' which can be found at the bottom of this page.

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything, please get in touch via seesaw where we will be more than happy to help and get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, please contact the office via telephone call or email for the attention of Miss Hill.

 

Timetable for Spring Term 2026:

Here is our proposed timetable for Spring Term. Please note that subjects may change days on occasion.

 

TTRockstars: To help encourage maths skills, we have set the children up on an online programme called ‘TTRockstars’. This is a fantastic resource which allows children to practise and improve their maths skills in a fun, interactive way. It provides access to times tables maths games! If you forget your child's log in details, please ask.

 

Nessy - If your child has a Nessy account, please allow them to access this at least 3 times a week. This is a brilliant programme which can help both their reading and spelling skills. Depending on their initial assessment, Nessy will set appropriate targets at a level suited for your child. To access this, please log on via https://learn.nessy.com/account/login#/accountLogin.  If you forget the 'secret word' for your child's account, please ask.

 

Spellzone - To help encourage spellings, we have set the children up on a program called ‘Spell Zone.’ This is a fantastic online program which can help children with their spellings. There are lots of different games on spell zone that are set to your child’s ability. To access this, simply visit www.spellzone.com.

 

PE: Wednesday and Thursdays.  All children need to make sure they come to school dressed ready in their P.E kit for these days. Please ensure that they are wearing the correct kit - plain t-shirts, shorts or joggers. Any children with earrings must be able to remove these for their P.E session, or they may not be able to take part due to health and safety reasons. On days where children do not have P.E, we hope to be able to take part in 'The Daily Mile' and they will need appropriate foot wear for this.

 

Swimming:  (Summer term only).

 

Spelling Test: Friday - Children will be given 12 spellings to learn every week. 8 of these will include a set rule and the last 4 will be statutory spellings which they need to be familiar with by the end of the year. They will follow the LOOK, COVER, WRITE, CHECK method to help them learn their spellings.

 

Home learning: This will be set every Friday and will need to be completed by the following Thursday at the latest.  Usually, children we be asked to complete TTRockstars, reading or a spelling based activity. Please note that these are all short activities which should not take a huge amount of your child’s time. If you require any support, please let us know via seesaw and we will answer your queries as soon as possible. In order to minimise the amount of items being exchanged between home and school, homework with be set on Seesaw whenever possible. Spelling booklets can remain at home until they are complete.
