Foxes 

Mrs Bujniewicz and Miss Smith

Hello and Happy New Year!

We are excited to start the Spring term with Foxes class! This term, our Geography learning will focus on renewable and non-renewable energy, food sources, and settlements, as we explore the question: ‘Is there enough for everyone around the world?’ Later in the term, we will turn our attention to History, asking: ‘How did the Anglo-Saxons change Britain?’

In Science, we will be launching into our ‘Space and Beyond’ topic, and in Religious Education, we will be discovering what Muslim people believe about Islam and Iman.

In English, we’ll begin a series of science fiction lessons, starting with a thrilling story about an alien landing, before exploring the much-loved book Beegu by Alexis Deacon. Pupils will also develop their speaking and listening skills, learning how to debate, explain their opinions, persuade others, and present facts clearly. In Maths, we will be exploring shapes, measure, and decimals, alongside daily arithmetic and times tables practice.

Design Technology lessons will give pupils the chance to investigate how mechanisms work before designing and making their own moving toys. PSHE will focus on ‘Keeping myself safe’, and in Computing, pupils will have fun creating vector drawings online.

Homework for Foxes will continue to be set on Mondays and collected the following Wednesday. We encourage children to read at home five times a week, with reading records signed by an adult. Pupils can also practise their multiplication tables on Times Table Rockstars. If homework at home is tricky, children are welcome to join the after-school homework club—please speak to us if this is helpful.

We’re really looking forward to another fantastic term of learning, fun, and discovery with Foxes class!
