Please see the termly curriculum overviews below to see what learning we will be up to each term. 

How can you help?

We hope that you can support your child with the learning that they are doing here in school by asking your child to talk about what they have learnt. If your child would like to do further learning this term, here are some suggestions that they may like to explore:

• Create a leaflet for people visiting Greece including important information. Where is it? What is the weather like? What is the currency like? What is the language?
