In Literacy, we are going to be reading instructions, identifying their key features and using these features to write our own instructions.
We will also be reading lots of tradition tales and tales with a twist. We will explore the language used and identify similarities and differences between them. We will then use this information to help us write a story of our own.
In Maths, we will be learning to count numbers up to 100 using concrete objects.
We will learn that each digit in a number has its own value and to be able to compare numbers using place-value knowledge.
This term, we are learning all about animals, including humans. Animals are living things that eat, breathe, grow, and move. There are so many different types of animals in the world, from tiny insects to big elephants. Some live in the wild, some live in water, and some live in our homes as pets. Humans are animals too, we belong to a special group called mammals. As we learn more this term, we’ll discover how animals live, what they need to survive, and how they change and grow, just like us!
In Art we will learn about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to our own work. We will make 3D forms from malleable and recycled materials.
In Geography, we are learning all about the wider world. Geography is the study of places, people, and the world around us. We will explore different countries, learn about continents and oceans, and find out what makes each place special. We’ll look at maps and globes to see where things are, and we’ll learn about the weather, land, and how people live in different parts of the world. It’s a great way to discover more about our amazing planet and how we are all connected!
In R.E we will be answering the questions 'How do we respond to things that really matter?' and 'What do special stories teach worshipers and others?'
We will be discussing how we look after natural resources and what we can do as responsible citizens to take care of the world. We will also look at the story of Creation and how Christians celebrate Harvest Festival.
We will learn about why we have rules to keep us safe. We will also learn about friendships, how to resolve arguments and ask for help if we are unhappy with friends. We will be identifying similarities and differences between families. We will learn about the common responsibilities people have in every family. We will learn how to share our worries if someone in our family makes us feel upset.
