Summer term

Our summer term theme is ‘Belonging.’ Our learning will be underpinned by our summer bookshelf; filled with rich, imagination-inspiring texts that will help us understand the meaning and importance of belonging.

 

Here We Are will cause us to reflect on our relationship with earth, whereas the authors Lupita Nyong and Chris Naylor-Ballesteros will help us to consider how different members of society can sometimes stuggle to find their sense of belonging in communitites. Analysis of these stories and their messages will form strong PSHE links and will help the children unpick Articles relating to the UN Rights of the Child as part of our Rights Respecting curriculum.

As always, we will be exploring the theme of belonging right across our curriculum, and our learning will be led by our four school drivers: Collaboration, Possibilities, Respect and Technology.
