Topics

Our WN curriculum is full of exciting and engaging topics designed to spark curiosity and build key skills. We’ll be learning about World War 2, designing and building our own lighthouses with working lights in DT, and developing our computing skills by creating Scratch animations. In art, we’ll take inspiration from L.S. Lowry, exploring his unique style and the stories behind his work. Every topic is designed to be meaningful, creative and hands-on.

Trips

Our favourite trip in WN is our visit to Pizza Express, where we get to explore food, following instructions and teamwork – and, of course, enjoy some delicious pizza!

Top Tips

English: Always remember to check for capital letters and full stops! If you can, try to include some exciting vocabulary in your sentences too.
Maths: Keep practising the things you find tricky! Remember you can always use a number square to help you find the answer if you need one.

Homework in WN is a mix of paper-based and online activities. These tasks are optional and designed to support your child’s learning at home.
In addition to these, we also set:

• Weekly spellings on Ed Shed

• Times tables practice on Times Tables Rockstars

• Daily reading to build fluency and foster a love of books

Communication

We use Class Dojo to share class updates and communicate with families. You can send messages directly to the teacher and see photos, announcements and celebrations from our learning each week.
