Spring Term 2026

Welcome back, I hope that you all had a magical Christmas and fantastic New Year!

I am so excited to be back and the children have already made a great start over the first few days. I am sure it won’t be too long before they settle into/back into the key stage 2 way of life!

This half term we have a history and geography focus, we are looking at The Maya Civilisation, We will be investigating whether the
Mayans were more or less advanced than Britain in 900AD. In geography we will
be looking South America, thinking about whether it is the same all over or
whether the regions differ?

Our English lessons this year will based on two fantastically immersive books, Shackleton’s
Journey by William Gill and King Kong by Anthony Browne. We will be having a go
at writing a narrative, mission log and a magazine article.

Our
class novels will be Final Year and First Year by Matt Goodfellow.
