Welcome Back My Lovely Ladybirds!

Below you will find all the information about the exciting things we will be learning in school this half term.
Our topic this half term is – Tales from across the Sea.
English
In English, the children will be using books linked to our topic of Tales across the Sea. In the first few weeks we will be focusing on Tinga Tinga Tales, Why Elephant has a Trunk – which is a British animated children’s series based on African folk tales. Before Elephant had a trunk life was difficult, but with a SNAP from a crocodile the jungle animals find out good things can come from bad. In the latter half of term, we will be focusing on Giraffes Can’t Dance – which is a touching tale about a giraffe who wants nothing more than to dance. His crooked knees and thin legs make this difficult, but some encouraging words from an unlikely friend turn his dreams into reality.
