This half term our topic is Magnificent Monarchs!

During this half term, children will be learning all about Monarchs and London. We will be so knowledgeable about the Great Fire of London. We will be writing recounts and fact files about London.

In addition, we will be making moving pictures of London using sliders, levers and pivots.

We will be developing our gymnastic skills, observing changes in the environment and much more! Please see the curriculum newsletter for more detail.

If you would like to come and help in the classroom, hear readers or do library sessions, please come and speak to us, we would love to see you!

There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
