Our theme this term is:
Lights, Forces and Magnets
During the Spring Term, Cherry Class will be focusing on the new theme 'Lights, Forces and Magnets' with magic and the Circus being the driver. As a class, we will discover new information about how shadows are created, how friction is caused and what materials are attracted to magnets. The children will use this knowledge to perform their own shadow puppet show and magic trick using their own puppets and Magician's cloak made by the children themselves!
To spark engagement in the Classroom, we will use our 'Curiosity Corner' to reveal light, forces and magnets-themed objects and ask curious questions about them, to discover and build upon our knowledge. So far, we have already discovered two performers hats and our new class book 'Leon and the Place Between'. We cannot wait to discover more this Spring term.
- PE days this term are Tuesday and Friday, although this is weather dependent and, therefore, could change each week so it is advisable to have PE kits in school every day. We are doing dance, gymnastics, football and tag rugby this term.
- Reading planners need to be in school every day, along with reading books.
- As part of your homework, you need to be reading at least 3x each week and recording this into your reading planner. This will be checked by an adult.
- Alongside your reading, you need to be accessing TTRS at least once a week to help you practise your times tables. To access TTRS, please see the below link.
- There will also be theme homework set at the start of the term, with the expectation for you to complete at least 10 pieces by the end of the big term.
