Welcome to Kingfisher Class

Welcome back to the Summer Term! We hope you all had a lovely Easter break.

Welcome to a vibrant and exciting Summer Term in Kingfisher Class!  This term, our learning journey takes us to Awesome Africa, where we’ll explore its rich landscapes, wildlife, and cultures through geography and creative activities.

In Literacy, we’ll dive into delightful stories like The Queen’s Knickers, Meerkat Mail, and Lila and the Secret of Rain, using them to inspire our reading and writing. Our Maths focus will include shape and space, addition and subtraction, and handling data—building confidence every step of the way.

In Science, we’ll investigate animals (including humans), plants, and seasonal changes, while in Art and DT we’ll get hands-on with printmaking and create some “sensational salads”!  Music lessons will introduce us to orchestral instruments, and in PE we’ll develop skills through striking and fielding games as well as athletics.

We’ll also explore important topics in PSHE, RE, History, and Computing, helping us grow both academically and personally.

Please can every child have a named sun hat in school every day, and named sunglasses too if they would like to bring them. We also ask that sun cream is applied at home before school each morning, as we are unable to apply this for the children during the school day. If your child has sun cream in their bag for later in the day, please make sure this is clearly named. If needed, we can support the children in applying this themselves before lunchtime.

Please name everything!! If items are named, they usually manage to find their way back to us eventually.

Please do not encourage your child to bring in toys from home, it is distracting for the children and also causes some worries and disappointments. We cannot guarantee the toys’ safety!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We are so excited for a wonderful final term together. There’s lots to look forward to, including Sports Day, class photos, and transition activities. It’s set to be a busy, fun-filled term—let’s make it a fantastic one! 🎉
