Summer Term 2026

Wellies and Flip Flops!

 

The topic this term is Wellies and Flip Flops! In Geography, we will compare two localities (Llandudno/Oswestry) by   looking at similarities and differences between: leisure, physical features, human features, transport and retail. In history, we will learn about who visits the seaside and why, compare seaside holidays from the past to present day and will create a timeline showing changes.  We will use a range of sources to research the past including photos, internet searches and speaking to elderly relatives. In DT, we will learn about moving toy cars. We will disassemble and assemble toy cars to learn about wheels and axels and  then design, make and evaluate a beach buggy. During our Music lessons, we will be focusing on musical vocabulary including pulse, tempo, dynamics, timbre, pitch, rhythm, texture and structure. We will learn about these musical techniques through a 'Under the Sea' theme. In PSHE, we will be exploring: where money comes from and why we need it; the use of the internet and what belonging to a community means. In Art, we will be looking at the work of famous artists, exploring painting techniques, colour and texture and using these skills to create a plate painting. During our PE sessions this term, we will focus on invasion games and build in time to practise ‘Sport’s Day’ events. The children will also have a session with the coach.

 

 

 

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything, please feel free to send us a message via the Seesaw app, contact the office to pass on a message or speak to one of us at the end of the day after 'pick-up time'.  Over the year, we will be using this webpage to post lots of useful and important information, such as home learning activities, useful websites and photos.

Here is a useful list of our regular class activities. (Please note that these may change on occasions)

 

 

 

 

 

PE: All children need to make sure they come to school wearing their PE kit on Thursday and Friday.

Navy tracksuit bottoms are optional to wear during colder days when outside for PE. These should be worn over shorts just in case PE is in the hall. 



Swimming: no swimming this term

Homework: Reading and spelling:

Reading: Please listen to your child read as often as you can; daily is recommended. Your child will bring home a bookmark to collect your signature  every day which they read; only one signature per day, even if your child has read twice. Hopefully, they can 'travel around the world' with our reading challenge. Book change will be on Fridays this term.

Spelling: Your child will bring home a new spelling booklet during the first week of the summer term, which holds all the weekly spelling lists for the term. Please help your child to look at the spelling rule, and learn to spell the words in each list. They will have a spelling quiz every Thursday. Week 1's spelling test will be on the last list of words from the spring booklet on the first Thursday we are back. Week 2s spelling test will be the following Thursday and will be on the first list of their new booklets, and so on. 

There may be homework sent home once the children have settled. I will try and make sure that these tasks are fun and practical where possible.

Numbots: at least 15mins a week.

Nessy: at least 15mins a week.


                                                       
Spelling Test: Thursday - Children will be given 10 spellings to learn every week. They will follow the LOOK, COVER, WRITE, CHECK method to help them learn their spellings. You will be notified about their score via their bookmark.

 

 

Many Thanks
