Summer Term 2021

Land Ahoy!

Hello and welcome to STF 2 at Morriston Primary.  Our theme this term is ‘Land Ahoy’. 

Get ready to take to the high seas and set sail in search of treasure! This half term, we’ll look at boats,  visit the seaside and the life boat station to find out about boats and ships of all shapes and sizes. We’ll write about our visit, read books, investigate amazing sea rescues and write postcards.  Our science skills will help us to understand how boats float and we’ll design and make model ships using a variety of materials. We’ll look at paintings of boats and draw detailed pictures of our own.   Our map reading skills will help us to identify different seas and oceans, and we’ll learn about famous sea explorers. Stories of pirates will inspire us to make pirate flags, treasure maps and fact files. We’ll even find out how to talk and sing like a pirate!

We will hopefully have the opportunity to visit the local beaches and engage in lots of interesting cross curricular activities. 

We will also be carrying out all our usually daily activities, e.g. Read Write Inc, numeracy skills.  Reading activities are carried out everyday.

Please can you ensure that your child has their PE kits with them in school everyday as pupils join their peers for PE on various days.   PE. kits will be sent home at the end of each term.

Autumn 2020

Towers, Tunnels and Turrets.

Climbing the battlements or tunnelling in the ground, there’s a whole world of adventure and fun to be found!

This term, we will visit a real castle to explore the towers, battlements and maybe a secret tunnel or two! We’ll learn all about the different parts of a castle and describe how they have changed over time. Using a wide range of materials, we’ll build models of castles and test the strength of our structures. We’ll learn the stories of Rapunzel, The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy Goats Gruff and create models inspired by them. Maps and photographs will help us learn about the tallest buildings and the longest tunnels in the world. We’ll find out about the amazing Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and improve our PE skills by playing attacking and defending games.

At the end of our project, we’ll have so much to share! We’ll display our amazing structures and share our knowledge in a special question and answer session.
