Our current mini-mission is...
Round the World with the Three Bears
Throughout this topic, we will be building on our current geographical understanding. Not only will we be exploring the world's continents, countries and oceans, we will also be identifying the four countries which make up the United Kingdom. We will use this information to help us create our own maps and write recounts of the bears' trips.

Phonics
At Five Spires we follow the Read Write Inc. phonics programme.
Every day the children receive dynamic and systematic teaching adapted to their current attainment.
