We are the Leopards

Our topic this half term is

See How they Grow

This half term we are looking at how things grow. We are looking at the different parts of plants and their similarities and differences. We are carrying out experiments to see what conditions a plant needs to grow and also taking part in a competition to see which class can grow the tallest sunflower. As an extension of this we hope to visit the local allotments to see a range of fruit and vegetables growing.

We are looking at how important farms are in the production of food. We are planning to visit Mead Open Farm which is a fun day out as well as being informative. We will have the chance to feed goats, sheep, cows and pigs. Please inform us if your child has any allergies to animals or plants.

We will invite parents in towards the end of term to our usual Sports Day activities which we all enjoy. We plan a number of transition sessions for us to visit our new teachers and classrooms. We are looking forward to the Summer holidays and beginning in year 2 in September.
