Welcome to our Summer term Padlet. Please have a read through to see what your child will be learning all about this term. We are really looking forward to another exciting term in Sparrows!

This term our topic will be based on the History of 'Chester Zoo'. There will also be links to Shared Reading where we will be reading a variety of fiction, non fiction and poetry books all about animals.

To bring our learning to life, we will be visiting Chester Zoo where we will take part in a habitats workshop! The trip will take place on Thursday 8th May 2025. More information about the trip will be sent out very soon.

On Wednesday mornings, Music will be taught by Mrs Hetherington. PE days in Sparrows will be on a Wednesday with Mrs Redmond. Please could you ensure your child has their PE kit back in school so they are ready to go.
