We kicked off the summer term with our new topic ‘OH! I do like to be beside the seaside’ and what fun it was! We have learnt the difference between human and physical geographical features you can find at the seaside. We have also learnt how the seaside has changed over times. Did you know that men and women used have swim in separate parts of the sea?

Our writing has been inspired by everything seaside! This has included exploring the book ‘Flotsam’, creating fact files about sea creatures, and writing a letter to our friend. For our maths learning we have been learning about time and capacity. We have mastered reading analogue and digital clocks and can even convert between the two. Impressive stuff! We then moved on to measurements where we learnt how to compare mass and capacity and how to measure these, including which units to use.

In science, we have been looking into animals including humans. This has involved learning how skeletons and muscles work, what we need to keep our bodies healthy and what types of skeletons different animals can have.  

Our computing lessons have involved understanding the inside of a computer. We have looked at RAM, ROM, fans, CPU and GPU. Weve found it quite challenging but lots of fun understanding how our computers work!

Our PSHE and DT have linked well this half term; we have been learning about healthy eating and how to create well balanced meals. We then planned and prepped our very own wraps. Tasty! PE has been a focus on cricket. We have been practicing our batting, throwing, catching and teamwork skills. We have also been learning how to play the recorder in our music lessons.

We ended our half term with a trip to the seaside and Skegness Aquarium. We had the absolute best time and made some amazing memories!
