Cherry Tree Class 2025-26

Welcome to Term 5!

It's hard to believe that Term 5 is upon us already. However, there is still plenty of exciting learning planned for the Cherry Tree Team!

The theme for our learning this term is a geographical one and we will be asking ourselves ‘What is the United Kingdom?’. We will be finding out about England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and be able to locate them on a map, developing key geographical skills. We will use geographical vocabulary to describe human and physical features of each. 

In English we will be reading the story ‘The Secret of Black Rock’ and basing our learning around the text with a view to writing our own version of the story. We will also continue with our daily phonics sessions and weekly spellings.

In Maths, we will continue working on numbers up to 20, exploring place value, number bonds, addition and subtraction. We will also use and explore coins to help us to count in steps of 2, 5 and 10. Please do continue to use our Numbots App too. 

In Art we will be exploring printmaking and developing a simple design based on nature that can be replicated through printing. We will also continue to use our sketchbooks as a tool for experimentation and developing our ideas. Our enrichment this term is also Art and we will be exploring painting.

In PSHE we will be thinking about economic wellbeing and exploring money in more detail. We will also be focussing on being EPIC by demonstrating 'resourcefulness' and 'compassion'.

Our weekly Forest School sessions will continue and our PE day will also be on Thursday so the children should sleep well after all that physical activity!

For more detail on the rest of our learning, please see our termly plan and knowledge organisers below.

  As always, please get in touch via Class Dojo if you have any queries.

Thank you for your continued support.
