Summer Term

We are starting the Summer term looking at toys, before moving on to celebrating the King's Coronation by sharing 'The Cook andthe King' by  Julia Donaldson. This will then move us onto talking about families and celebrating the diversity in out families.

Our 'Pathway to Write' book will be 'The Whale Who Wanted More' by Rachel Bright

We will be:

• Comparing old and new toys that our parents, grandparents and that we play with.
• Sharing how toys change by reading the book 'Major Glad, Major Dizzy' by Jan Oke
  
• Discussing and celebrating together the King's corantion 
• Sharing our 'family' projects and comparing the similarities and differences in our families and where in the world we all come from
• Explorinf sea creatures and how we share our world with them
