Reception Summer 1 Week 5
Well done for another amazing week Reception!
This week we have been learning about sharing and grouping. Everyone could confidently share objects equally and group objects making sure they have the same amount in each group. Next week, we will be focusing on doubles and learning that a double is by adding the same numbers together.
In Topic this week we read the story of 'The enormous turnip'. We sequenced the story using picture cards and made sure they were in chronological order. Pupils used words such as; first, next, then and finally.
We discussed what characters were in the story and used adjectives to describe the turnip. Pupils then wrote sentences in their books about the turnip. Well done everyone!

Year 3 Summer 1 Week 5
Well done, Year 3, for another fantastic week of learning.
In maths, we have been working hard on telling the time using an analogue clock. We have practised reading time in 5‑minute intervals, to the exact minute, and using AM and PM.
In English, we explored the features of a Battle Cry Speech and practised using the rule of three and imperative verbs. All of this is preparing us to write our own speeches next week, imagining ourselves as Boudica leading her army into battle.
In science, we created our own paper seed‑dispersal machines. The children loved testing how well their designs spun from a height and thinking about how real plants spread their seeds.
In history, we continued our work on Emperors and Empires, learning about significant Roman Emperors and what made them effective leaders.
As always, please continue to read five times a week and play TTRS five times for five minutes.
Next week’s spellings are attached.
Have a wonderful weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday.

Year 2 15.5.2026
It has been another busy and exciting week in Year 2, with the children continuing to show great enthusiasm and curiosity across all areas of their learning. They have been working hard to build on their knowledge and are enjoying exploring new topics together.
This week in maths, the children have completed their unit on statistics, where they developed their understanding of interpreting and creating charts and graphs. They have now begun a new unit on position and direction, exploring movement, turns, and how to describe position using mathematical language.
In English, the children are continuing to work towards writing a character description of King Henry VIII. They have been carefully working through each of the success criteria for descriptive writing, focusing on adding detail, using interesting vocabulary, and structuring their sentences effectively.
In history, we explored the feudal system, helping the children to understand how society was organised in medieval times and the roles people played within it.
In science, we looked at the germination of seeds. The children planted their own seeds and are looking forward to observing how they grow and what they need to thrive.
Well done, Year 2, for your continued hard work and enthusiasm!
Year 1 Summer 1 Week 5
English
This week in English, the children revisited an old classic - Jack and the Beanstalk. We used this text to explore how the un- prefix changes the meaning of words, and wrote about the emotions of characters using these words. We also planned and wrote a setting description based on the Giant's castle above the clouds.
Maths
In Maths, the children have continued to learn about fractions. They have found half of a quantity, recognised quarters, and found 1/4 of an amount. The children have worked so hard on this tricky concept and should feel very proud!
Foundation
Science was so much fun this week! The children created their own 3D flowering plants, and then labelled the parts. In History, the children learned what an artefact is. We looked at artefacts from Victorian schools and discussed what they told us about what it would have been like to go to school in those times.
We had a special author event this week. The author of the book Dudley's Garden did an online reading for us, and spoke lots about pollination and bees. The children learned some interesting ways they could make their gardens more polinator friendly.
Phonics
Please remember to attend the phonics screening check meeting for parents on 20th May. Also keep practising your child's reading in preparation for the check here.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Nursery Summer 1 Week 5
This week we have been reading 'The Journey Home From Grandpa's' and 'The Train Journey'. The children have practised creating ABAB patterns, matching amnd naming 2D shapes, making stick puppets to retell the stories with their friends and creating pictures of themselves and decorating them with different materials. They have also enjoyed talking about train journeys that they've had and what they could see out of the window. In Phonics the children have continued to practise sound blending. Next week our focus story is 'Duck in the Truck'.
What a fun week! Have a lovely weekend.
Year 4 summer 1 week 5
Well done for completing another week!
In English, we have started planning our informal letter to dad as Lil from The secrets of a sun king. The children will start writing their first draft, editing and final draft next week using all the skills they have learnt.
In shared reading, they have summarised key events across the chapter, retrieved answers from across a chapter and made reasonable predictions.
In Maths, we have started our shape topic. This week, we have understood angles as a turn, identified angles, compared and ordered angles, learnt about tringles and quadrilaterals
In science, we have looked at endangered animals, and the children have created a lovely poster/fact file on a chosen endangered animal.
In geography, we named and located significant mountains using an atlas.
As always, make sure your child is reading and going on TTRS 5 times a week.
Enjoy your weekend!
Year 5 Summer 1 Week 5
Well done for a lovely week Year 5!
In maths this week, Year 5 have begun an exciting new topic on decimals. The children have been learning how to add and subtract decimals with the same number of decimal places, developing their confidence and accuracy with this new concept.
In reading, we have continued exploring Treason. The focus this week has been on developing prediction skills, with the children using clues from the text to suggest what might happen next. The children are finding the story engaging and are enjoying discussing the events and characters.
In English, we have started our new unit on explanation texts. The children have had the opportunity to research their chosen topics and have begun planning their own pieces of writing in preparation for drafting next week.
In History, the children have been learning about King Henry VIII, focusing on his character and personality. They have explored what he was like as a ruler and how his behaviour influenced events during his reign.
In Art, the children created their own expressionist-style paintings. They explored how colour and brushstrokes can be used to show feeling and expression, producing some fantastic and creative pieces of work.
Finally, just a reminder that children should continue to practise their times tables on TTRS regularly and aim to read at least five times each week.
Have a lovely weekend.
