Important reminder: Phonics Screening Check
The Phonics Screening Check will be taking place during this half-term. Please continue to help your child prepare for this by listening to them read at least 3x a week, and supporting them to work through the resources provided. 

Our new topic: Transport from the Past

Our topic focus this half-term is a history unit all about transport over the years. Our lessons will be based around the enquiry question 'How and why has transport changed over time?'.  

We will compare transport from the past and present and discuss how and why things have changed. We will look in detail at cars, trains and aeroplanes. We will also learn about the exciting inventions of the Wright Brothers and explore how they changed travel around the world.

On Thursday 26^th June we will be heading to Nottingham Industrial Museum in Wollaton Park. I am searching for 1 parent helper to support our trip and be able to transport some children to and from the park.

Check out the curriculum map attached to see what else we will be learning this half-term.
