Topic work
There are a huge amount of activities and ideas for the children to follow their interests on db primary. Login from the school website.
In our topic work we have been learning about Markington. We learnt how to draw maps, about symbols on a map and landmarks found in the village for example...Church, Post office and School. We were planning to begin learning about London, comparing Markington and London leading into The Great Fire of London.
Please enjoy these topics if you wish.

Science
In Science, we had just begun a topic on Seasonal Changes. We were thinking about the changes that happen between Winter and Spring. We went on a Spring Walk and observed signs of Spring, finding such things as daffodils, buds and blossom. If you are able to continue thinking about the changes from Winter to Spring with your child at home that would be great. We would have been thinking next about the different clothes that people wear in the two seasons and also how the day length changes (number of daylight hours).
https://explorify.wellcome.ac.uk/en/activities
There is an excellent site called Explorify which has videos, activity suggestions and background information for Science investigations and discussion. There are some resources on there which would support work on Seasonal Changes and there is also a wealth of videos for other topics so hopefully you can find an investigation or talking point which will capture your child's interest.
