Welcome to Summer Term!

Jack and the Beanstalk

The Smartest Giant in Town

by Julia Donaldson

This term our driving text is 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.  

This half term we will be learning about growing, children will have the opportunity to grow their own flowers and food.  We will learn explore different beans and taste them, learning how they are used around the world. 

We will learn the text using a storymap and actions to support memory and for the first time will change some characters to make our own story.  As children learn more phonemes they will be encouraged to use these in their writing.

We are learning letter sounds using our phonic scheme 'Supersonic Phonic Friends'.

We follow White Rose Maths.

At King's Gate Primary school we expect all children to read at home everyday and a minimum of four times per week.

In addition to reading, please practise the flashcards that we send home to support learning and feel free to ask if you have any questions at all. 

We will always keep you updated on our Homerun app.
