Semi-Formal Curriculum

During Summer Term, the learners in Copper (Focus 14-19) have enjoyed our topic of Animals and Plants. This topic has led to our trips to see animals at Knowsley Safari park and Alpaca farms, as part of Future’s Week.

The children thoroughly enjoyed Futures Week (Careers), as they were able to learn about working with animals .

As a class we have been reading the book Dear Zoo (English My Communication), which has inspired their learning about animals. The children have written and sent fantastic letters to the Zoo and they have collaboratively designed a working zoo!

We have also watched the classic 1970’s TV ‘Play for a Day’ film called ‘Our Day Out’. The children were in hysterics when in the film the school children pinched the zoo animals!

Since our last Magazine update, the children have covered a wide variety of topics in our My Thinking and Problem Solving lessons. They have more proficiency in telling the time, sharing (division) between friends to make it fair, plus understanding temperature and how it changes and impacts on it’s environment. As staff we are very proud of how the children have progressed and developed this year.

The children in Copper have a very close bond with each other, inspiring healthy competition to improve in their daily tasks and to work collaboratively. They have all improved their verbal communication, their problem solving and ability to handle situations.

It has been a pleasure teaching the class this year. So from myself, Tracy, Grant, Jess and Fiona we hope they enjoy their summer, ready for new exciting challenges in September!
