Term 5

The children were introduced to their new text ‘There’s a Snake in My School’ by a visit from two slippery, smooth creatures, Percy a Mexican black snake and Cassie a boa constrictor. The children were enthralled by the snakes and all of them showed bravery by stroking Cassie and asked many insightful questions to find out more about keeping snakes as pets.

In science, we are going to learn how to be a healthy human. We will focus on how important a healthy diet is, how exercise keeps us fit and strong and the importance of sleep. Throughout the term, the children will travel back in time to learn about the industrial past of Bradford on Avon, looking at key buildings which were central to the woollen, rubber and bicycle industries within the town. This will include the children finding out about a key family within the town ‘The Moultons’. To bring this learning to life each class will be undertaking walks around the town and visiting ‘The Hall’ and whilst there, have lunch on the lawn.

The term will culminate in Fitz’s very own art gallery where the children’s recreation of Paul Klee’s work will be on show for parents and other family members to see. We very much look forward to seeing the children’s masterpieces and sharing this work with you.

Homework, spellings and knowledge organisers can be found in the document list at the bottom of this page.
