TERM 4 Project

Allotment

Come on, let’s grow!

This half term, we’ll use food from an allotment to make delicious dishes, and plant our own fruits and vegetables. Our art skills will improve as we make detailed observational drawings, using botanical images for inspiration. We’ll explore germination, learn more about the parts of the plant and find out how they reproduce. Maps will help us to identify the best place for an allotment and where different foods come from.

We’ll look at how well our plants have grown and make structures to support them. Attending our gardening masterclass will also help you to learn how to grow plants too!

Help your child prepare for their project
Where does our food come from? Why not explore food at home or at the supermarket to find out how far it has travelled? You could also visit a local farm or strawberry picking field to look at the plants and structures. Alternatively, have a go at planting a sunflower seed and giving it all of the conditions needed to help it grow.

PE

Tuesday - Swimming

Friday - Forest School

Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days.

 

enhanced pathway

At Queen Emma’s Primary School, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child through a well-rounded education that extends beyond traditional academics. We are excited to have a bespoke Enhanced Pathway to ensure our pupils with specific Special Educational Needs have the best possible provision. It is tailored for pupils who require specialised support that goes beyond what can be offered at the high level our students deserve in a mainstream classroom. Alongside our curriculum, we offer life skills lessons and a comprehensive Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) curriculum created by the Mulberry Bush School.

Our approach emphasises the development of essential skills such as resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, ensuring children are equipped to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Through our outreach program, students have the opportunity to learn in mainstream classrooms for part of the day, allowing them to benefit from a diverse educational experience while still receiving the targeted support they need.

Previous Terms:

memorable experience - rocks, relics and rumbles

Everest had a fantastic memorable experience today learning about fossils, rocks and relics! They gained first hand experience sorting and labelling rocks and minerals, and learnt about fossils and ammonites. They had so much fun handling fossilised mammoth and shark teeth, and were able to handle a range of different animals’ vertebrae!

 

Science Week 

Science Week was full of curiosity and excitement as we investigated the question "Which colour sweet is the strongest?" We designed experiments to test the strength of different coloured sweets, using weights and pressure to see which would hold up best. The results were surprising — some sweets were much tougher than we expected! It certainly got us thinking about materials and structures, and the children made some brilliant predictions and observations.
