Happy New Year and welcome back to a new term in Key Stage 2. The fizz and buzz of excited chatter and enthusiastic questions are already filling the school as the children embark on new learning adventures in their classrooms, which are full of wonderful, fresh displays for our new topics.

This term is an exciting one for Years 3 and 4 as they continue preparations for their production. Many of the children spent time over the holidays learning their lines and they are already engaged in rehearsals.

‘The Vikings’ is the fabulous topic that our lower KS2 children will be embarking on, in amongst rehearsals. In Year 3, minds will grow alongside their plants topic for science; and in Year 4, the children will be sparking their neuron pathways with their electricity topic. Year 5 have already broadened their horizons with their ‘People in Kenya’ topic, alongside their science work on living things and their habitats. In Year 6, we are studying inheritance and evolution in our science lessons; our History topic is World War Two and we have already started looking at some of the key players, events and dates in this terrible period of human history. We enjoyed showcasing our learning in our Y6 assembly on Friday. The curriculum overviews will tell you more about the exciting learning opportunities coming their way this term.

With children having already taken part in a 3-day chess championship, class assembly preparations, trips and projects, among so many other events, it is going to be another whirlwind of a term- we can’t wait! Don’t forget to check the calendar for important dates.

We hope you enjoy talking to your children about their learning- what can they teach you today?!
