We will continue to have music lessons, instrument lessons and French lessons with specialist teachers.

In art we will be looking at sculpture and in design and technology we will be learning about food and nutrition.

Computing skills will be based around publishing this term and the children will be making their own brochures about a town in North America.

It will be an exciting term on the lead up to Easter.

Kind regards
