Maths Our next topics will be: • Measurements (length,
height, mass, capacity and temperature)
• Consolidating our prior learning
Wider Curriculum We will: • Explore the 5 senses: ! Investigating how sound travels and recording sounds ! Learning about sight and the effects of losing this sense including the
use of braille and guide dogs ! Taste testing ! Creating a texture walk
Arts

Project Menu Over the holiday you could: • Create a texture board
using different materials. • Make a musical
instrument. • Try a new food – write
about how it tastes. • Go on a ‘senses’ walk –
photograph what you see and feel, list the smells and sounds.

what it would be like to lose a sense?
Other • We will continue to have PE on
Thursday afternoon with Go Active. • Please hear your child read as
regularly as possible at home. It really does help them to progress much faster if we work together. Your help is so very important. Thank-you.
• Homework will continue to be set on a Friday (now it will be found in a plastic zip wallet!) and pupils have a week to complete it before it is marked.
• Any safe and clean recycling is still required for junk modelling.
