This term  we are learning about Spring time at the Farm.  We will start the term with a celebration of St. David’s Day  and World Book Day, before moving on to learn about Spring! We will be focusing on what happens during Spring time? Taking part in springtime walks looking for signs of spring. Learning about our world around us with different natural changes such as flowers starting to bloom, days becoming brighter and longer and different creatures that start to appear such as butterflies, caterpillars and ladybirds.

We will then move on to focus on ‘What happens at the farm?’. We will start this with a visit to Puxton Park allowing pupils to have the opportunity to explore and experience Farm life in general. We will be finding out about different types of animals at the farm, where they are kept, what they do and how they can be used to help provide us with different foods and drinks. We will learn about different life cycles, habitats and how to care for different animals during the Spring time when offspring such as lambs, chicks and foals are born. We will also investigate the role of a farmer and the different things used on a farm such, tractors, trailers and milking equipment.

Finally we will conclude the first part of the Spring term with Easter celebrations, pupils will learn about why we celebrate Easter and the significant events that lead up to Easter Sunday. We look forward to helping your child grow and develop on the next part of their learning journey throughout the Spring months.
