Summer Term 2025

The Summer Term is now here and Butterfly Class have a fantastic fun-filled time ahead with lots of fun, creativity and plenty of opportunities to move learning forward and to meet those high expectations. Our classroom will be filled with love, care, and happy smiles.

Our English this term will be based around two quality texts ‘Aladdin and ‘Billy’s Bucket’, both motivating and engaging quality texts incorporates skills in narrative, non-fiction and poetry.

In Science we will be looking closely at seeds and bulbs and thinking about how these grow into plants. We even have a fantastic trip to Wakehurst organised.

In Design Technology the children will be introduced to the fundamentals of mechanical design by creating a moving monster. They will explore how mechanisms like linkages and pivots can be used to create movement in designs. 

As artist the children will begin to understand how artists can use their creativity to re-see, re-invent or reimagine the world around them. They will be asked to reconsider an object they know well—such as a stick or twig—and think about how they can use their creativity to change it.

In Religious Education, the children will be considering the question: ‘What is the good news that Jesus brings?’  and building on their knowledge about the Jewish faith by exploring the question ‘Why is the Torah such a joy for the Jewish Community?

More detail about this and other subjects included in the term's coverage can be seen in our curriculum booklet.

The curriculum overview for the school year is contained within our curriculum document.
