This term, pupils will take part in an engaging and enriching curriculum designed to spark curiosity, creativity and a deeper understanding of the world around them. In English, they will explore exciting fiction through action-packed fear tales and “beating the monster” stories, alongside developing their non-fiction writing with explanation and instruction texts, while continuing to build strong grammar skills. Maths lessons will strengthen fluency and reasoning as pupils work with the four operations, fractions and decimals, before moving on to statistics, geometry, measures and money.



Across the wider curriculum, pupils will journey through history as they learn about the Stuart period, including key events such as the Great Fire of London, while in Geography they will explore London and the South East before travelling further afield to study Japan. In Science, they will investigate states of matter through the water cycle and later explore ecology and the environment. Creative learning will be a highlight this term, with Art focusing on the Byzantine Empire and later textile work such as embroidery and weaving, alongside DT projects designing moving playgrounds. Pupils will also enjoy developing their skills in Computing, Music, PE, RE and PSHE, making this a varied, exciting and memorable Summer term.
