PE lessons are on a Wednesday with Mr Stevens. The children are to arrive at school in ther PE kit and will wear it all day.  It will take place outside so please ensure that children bring jogging bottoms during cold weather. They may also bring a spare pair of socks in their book bag in case they need to change after the lesson.

This term we will be taking inspiration for our writing from some amazing books, starting after Easter with The Last Wolf by Mini Grey then after the half term Grandad's Secret Giant by David Lichfield. 

In Geography we will learn all about the coast  including human and physical features. 

In Science we will be learning  about Plants and everyday materials.
