Michael's Class 2023 - 2024

Summer Term 2


Hello and a very warm welcome back to all children, parents and staff! We hope you enjoyed the half-term break and are excited for our final few weeks of the academic year! In Michael’s Class this term our topic is ‘If You’re Happy And You Know It’.
In History we will be focusing on the life and achievements famous explorer James Cook. The pupils will have chance to create and use old-fashioned maps and telescopes, just like the Captain! We will then move on to the rich history of pirates and explore how life must’ve been on one of their infamous pirate ships!


In PE this term the children will be focusing on ‘atheltics’. The pupils will work on their jumping skills (high, long and triple jump), throwing skills (javelin and shotput) and both their long and short distant running! This will also prepare them for our Holly Grove Sports Day!


In English, we will be looking at newspapers and journalistic writing. We shall be looking at the different types of news and how they are presented to us in different mediums. The children will then be planning, writing and presenting their very own news reports! In poetry, we will continue with reading new kennings poems and writing our very own.


Please come back soon to see what we have been up to!
