Our summer term topic is all about...

LONDON

During the summer term, our topic work will focus on London. Lots of our work will be leading up to our trip to London (10th-12th June). We will find out about why London is our capital city, why the city grew in that location and comparing it to other world cities, like New York. We will also find out about the history of the Tower of London prior to our visit. This unit will help develop our map skills as well as linking together some of our Key Stage 2 history units. This term we will be celebrating the children's time at Hartford Manor and working towards our end of key stage SATs and end of year performance at the Grange Theatre. Hopefully, the term will be one for your child to remember!

Here are some more of our planned units of work:

Design & Technology: Textiles - making a 3D textile product

Computing: 3D modelling; programming - sensing movement

Science: Animals,including humans

Art & design: Printing, architect study

PE: Rounders, swimming, orienteering

RE: Christianity locally and globally; What is the Kingdom of God?
