Spring Term 2025

Our topic for the Spring term is:

‘Are Carrots Orange?’

Food marvellous food! What do you like to eat? Are you happy to try something new? It’s time to find out more about eating well and being healthy.

This half term, we will hopefully visit a supermarket to explore the foods sold there. We will take photographs and collect a rainbow of healthy foods. Back at school, we will use our senses to investigate the foods, and bravely taste things we’ve never tried before! Using our research skills, we will read all about fruits and vegetables in non-fiction books. We will plant seeds and look after them carefully. We will compare and sort different fruits and vegetables, and create stunning still life paintings. Setting up a class supermarket will be lots of fun; we’ll make signs and sell things to our friends. Following instructions and working together will help us to create healthy snacks. We’ll also find out what happens to our bodies when we exercise. Using our mathematics skills, we will weigh ingredients to make delicious biscuits and cakes, and count yummy currants to decorate them. Things could get messy, but it’ll be lots of fun!

Help your child prepare for their project
Being healthy can be fun! Why not taste a new fruit or vegetable that you’ve never tried before? You could also plant seeds and learn about what they need to grow. Alternatively, try following a recipe to make a healthy meal or snack.

The books that we will be covering throughout the term are:

• Carrot Soup
• Oliver’s Fruit Salad
• Enormous Turnip

We look forward to your continued cooperation.

**REMEMBER we have an open door policy so feel free to telephone/email or contact via dojo if you have any questions, queries or concerns.
