Spring Term 2026

In the Spring term we will be doing two themes 'Land of Fire and Ice' and 'Lights, Camera, Action!'. 

Spring 2 - Lights, Camera, Action!

This term, the children are diving into an exciting new theme, Lights, Camera, Action! where creativity and confidence take centre stage. Much of our learning is centred around our lively performance, Ye-Ha!, with rehearsals filled with energetic songs, big smiles and lots of laughter as the children work together to put on a fantastic show. In Science, we are exploring sound, investigating how sounds are made, how they travel and how pitch and volume can change. In Computing, the children are learning about The Internet, discovering how it connects people and information around the world and how to use it safely. Through our PSHE Heartsmart focus, Don’t Hold On to What’s Wrong, we are thinking about forgiveness, resilience and the importance of letting go of negative feelings. It promises to be a joyful and action-packed term!

Spring 1 - Land of Fire and Ice

In the spring term, the children began an exciting new theme, Land of Fire and Ice, which took them on a journey to explore the fascinating country of Iceland. Through both Geography and English, they learned about Iceland’s unique landscapes, climate and way of life, using their knowledge to inform discussions and creative writing. In science, the children investigated rocks and fossils, developing their understanding of how the Earth is formed and changed over time. Art lessons were inspired by the dramatic contrasts of fire and ice, where the children experimented with colour, texture and materials to create expressive artwork. They also explored why people live in Iceland and the natural disasters that occur there and why. To bring their learning together, the children designed and made moving books based on the theme, which they proudly shared with the KS1 children.

Autumn Term 2025

In the Autumn term we will be doing two themes 'Southampton: A gateway to the world?' and 'Romans: Rotten or Revolutionary?'. 

Romans: Rotten or Revolutionary?

During the Autumn term, the children were fully immersed in our exciting topic, Romans: Rotten or Revolutionary? They developed their historical understanding by learning about Roman life, achievements and legacy, while also exploring scientific concepts through a unit on forces and magnets. In art, the children practised sketching skills inspired by Roman architecture, carefully observing and recreating key features, and in design and technology they applied their creativity and problem-solving skills to design and build their own Roman chariots. The term concluded with a memorable visit from Portals to the Past, which brought their learning to life and provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate and showcase everything they had learned throughout the topic.

Southampton: A gateway to the world? 

During this theme, our learning was based around Southampton. In English, we were inspired to write using the book Ocean Meets Sky, and we also wrote an information text about Southampton. In Geography, we learned about Southampton, where it is located in Hampshire and the human geography across the city. In science, we explored electricity, and in DT we made torches, combining our design and technology work with our science learning.
