We  have a very busy and exciting Summer term ahead!

Summer Term Topics

We are excited to introduce the following curriculum topics to the children for the Summer Term:

'Growth, plants and minibeasts'

In the 'Growth, plants and minibeasts' topic your child will investigate different minibeasts and watch the life cycle of a butterfly first hand with real caterpillars to observe. They will hunt for minibeasts in the garden and discuss their different features. They will draw, paint and craft their own minibeasts using a range of media and materials. The children will also learn about how different plants grow and will plant and nurture their own sunflowers and bean plants.

'Sunshine, Shadows and Reflections'

In the Sunshine, Shadows and reflections topic the children will explore how shadows are formed. They will investigate their own shadows and those of different objects. They will examine their own reflections and explore reflective materials, both natural and man made.   

Supporting your child at home

Look at books and pictures of different minibeasts

Go on a walk/minibeast hunt and discuss what you can see.

Look in a mirror and discuss what you can see.

Look at your shadows on a sunny day and discuss. Place objects in different positions and see what happens to their shadows.

Please take pictures of any exciting activities that you do and share them with us on Tapestry.

We look forwards to all of the fun that we will have
