Summer Term

Welcome to the Summer term at Manor Park School. We are looking foward to this term and preparing the children for the move to Year 1.

We are starting the Summer term by looking at toys we play with today, toys our parents and grandparents  play with and much older toys and what they are made from.

We will continue the term, as the weather hopefully gets warmer, by exploring plants and growth. Then we begin our Mini Topic on 'Cultures Around the World.' The children will be taking part in this by sharing projects they've completed at home, please see the letter below for more information.

Our 'Pathways' focus book this half term is 'The Whale Who Wanted More' by Rachel Bright, we will begin by exxploring the book without reading it, predicting who could be causing the problem.

See the Summer newsletter below for more information along with letters that been sent out.......
