Spring Term 2026

This spring, we’ll be diving into our exciting new Geography topic: Rivers and Mountains. In Science, pupils will be exploring Light and Forces & Magnets through hands-on investigations and practical activities. Forest Schools will return later in the term, giving pupils more opportunities for outdoor learning and teamwork. We’re also thrilled that Phunky Foods will be back in March and May for more fun, creative food sessions.

In Maths, our Year 4 pupils will continue preparing for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) coming up in June 2026, while both Year 3 and Year 4 will keep developing their arithmetic confidence and fluency.

In English, we’ll continue to focus on improving, developing and editing our writing, learning how to become even better authors, with particular attention to handwriting and spellings.

These are just a few of the brilliant things we have planned!Click here to see what we have we been up to in the Spring term!
