Welcome to the Summer Term in Cassatt Class! We are excited for the term ahead.

Last term we continued our line of enquiry ‘I wonder…what changes?’ and learnt about the change from Winter into Spring. We planted seeds and are excited to watch these grow this term.

We had a wonderful opportunity to further explore our local environment by visiting Little Forest Adventures. We took part in many exciting activities such as exploring the mud kitchen, sand pit, bug hunting station, puppet show, craft and reading tent, swings and ropes, archery, den building and many more. The children showed their resilience and confidence trying new things with enthusiasm and working together with each other on the different activities. This term we are continuing to build on our visit to Little Forest Adventures by learning more about minibeasts in our local environment. We will be bug hunting in our forest area and using our text drivers in Literacy to find out more about the minibeasts we find.

We are also looking forward to our upcoming trip to Bucklebury Farm where we will be finding out more about life on the farm. We will be learning how to ask and answer questions, explore and write stories about being on a farm and find out lots of facts and information about life on the farm and the animals who live there. Following our trip we are going to have some special visitors in class for a few weeks who we will be looking after!

In RE we are going to be learning about 'Special Clothes', with a focus in Hinduism. We will be taking part in the whole school RE project called ‘Caring for Creation’.
