Term 6 - All around the world
___________________________________________________

This term our topic is `All around the world` and the children will be learning about different countries and cultures and discussing similarities and differences. We will be starting our learning this week by exploring the continent of Africa and reading Handa's Surprise and the sequel Handa's Hen. Throughout the term, the children will continue to read stories in their phonics lessons by applying their sounds and writing sentences using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. In our Maths learning, our focus will continue to be on numbers to 20 but also exploring doubles, halves and sharing. 

 This term the children will be practising their athletic skills and taking part in Gymnastics sequences. This will prepare the children for Sports day but also continue to support them with working collaboratively with others too. With the weather improving, please can I ask children come into school with plenty of water and a sun hat to protect them when playing outside.
