Spring 2:

Welcome to Spring 2! The children loved our last topic as they were so familar with the story of Snow White & the 7 dwarfs, this half term's topic will also be familaiar to the children - 'Birmingham and the UK'! So far the children have been creating their perosnalsied passports to travel around the school grounds. The topic will also be linked in lessons such as Literacy, Maths, PE, PSED and more through a cross currilar approach. There will also be an exciting trip towards the end of this half term! 

Please refer to our class timetable for updates and changes, Forest School remains the same and PE will take place on Tuesday & Friday.

Spring 1:

Welcome to Spring 1! During this half-term, our school's topic is 'Snow White'. As many of our children are already familiar with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, we at Squirrels are super excited for this topic as it will be explored throughout our learning in Literacy, maths, PSED, Singing & Signing and more! The children will be sharing the story with their familiar adult during 1:1 reading and whole class learning through a cross curricular approach.

Please refer to our class timetable for updates, Forest School remains the same, please ensure your child has extra clothing for this.
