In Guided Reading, St Cecilia will begin to look at Liliput - can she escape from a giant’s world? St Mary will be starting to read the intriguing story of The Halloweeds- can they all keep their fingers?
Maths
In maths, children will apply number facts to multiplication and division, and will continue to build their knowledge from before Christmas on fractions, which will lead into decimals and percentages. We will conclude the term with area and perimeter.
RE
In RE, we will be studying a new topic of Jewish people, and looking at how and why the Torah is so important to them.
History
Children will learn what life was like in Raunds during their History lessons, and the industries that our town was built on. This will include a walk around Raunds, looking at evidence from old industrial buildings.
Geography
In geography we will be learning about World Biomes, linking back to our previous topic on lines of latitude and longitude, and how this helps to determine environmental regions.
Science
Science will introduce Earth and Space, and then build on prior knowledge of Animals and Humans from the Autumn Term. We are very excited about our trip to the Leicester Space Centre to help to bring this trip to life!

French We will be learning about clothing and weather in our French topics, including children being able to present a weather forecast for France.
PSHE
Our PSHE scheme starts with a topic on ‘Dreams and Goals’ and ‘Healthy Me’ which will be taught through some individual and some group tasks.
Reading at Home:
All children are expected to read regularly every week to an adult and have it signed in their planner by an adult at home. Every five reads earns a merit. When they have read 25 times, they will receive a golden ticket which will be placed in a prize draw at the end of each half term.
Home/School Planner:
Could you please ensure that your child brings their home/school planner in to school every day. Please feel free to write any comments in it.
Every Friday your child will bring their planner home which will have been signed by their teacher. This should be countersigned by the parent/carer and returned to school again on Monday morning. Children will receive a merit for planners that have been signed when returned on Monday.
Our Classroom Rules:
- Be respectful.
- Maintain a clean learning environment.
- Follow any teachers’ directions the first time.
- Take responsibility for yourself.
