This summer term, our learning will be guided by the exciting theme of Play and Creativity. Across all Areas of Learning, children will be encouraged to explore, imagine, and express themselves through playful learning experiences. From designing their own games to celebrating global carnivals, this term promises to be full of colour, curiosity, and hands-on fun.In Literacy, we will delve into the world of theatre and storytelling through William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Children will explore the structure and language of playscripts, bringing scenes to life through performance and discussion. They will also read and write poetry inspired by the themes of the play. In addition, children will be developing their instructional writing skills by creating clear, engaging instructions for games they invent themselves—combining creativity with practical communication.Our Maths learning will focus on real-world applications and problem-solving. Children will explore key areas such as measurement, perimeter, capacity, and money. These topics will be taught through interactive activities that help children understand how maths is used in everyday life, including in games and carnival planning.In Science, we will be investigating electricity. Children will take part in hands-on experiments to learn how electrical circuits work. They will apply their knowledge by designing and building their own Operation-style game, using wires, buzzers, and batteries to complete a working circuit. This project will not only reinforce scientific understanding but also encourage teamwork and design thinking.Our Creative Arts and Humanities work will take us on a journey through the vibrant world of carnivals. Children will learn about different carnival traditions from around the globe, exploring their cultural significance and artistic styles. They will then design and create their own carnival masks, culminating in a class celebration where they will showcase their creations and perform in their very own mini carnival.The children will combine creativity with digital skills. They will design and produce their own Top Trumps-style cards, learning how to organise and present information effectively. They will also explore databases, understanding how data can be structured and used in fun and meaningful ways.This term is all about encouraging children to think imaginatively, work collaboratively, and express themselves confidently. We’re looking forward to a joyful and inspiring summer full of learning through play!
