What’s happening this term:

Literacy - In Literacy we will be starting the term by looking at the story of the Hodgeheg to write information posters and then will be moving on to the library lion to write a persuasive argument and nonsense poems.

Maths - In Year 1, we will start by looking at place value up to 20 which will then be followed by addition and subtraction up to 20. Counting objects at home, adding and removing amounts up to 20 and practising writing numbers will really support your child in school. In Year 2, we will start by exploring money and then will be moving on to multiplication and division, specifically looking at the 2s, 5s and 10s. Continued practise on TTRS will be beneficial as well as giving your child opportunities to play with and use real money.

RE - The theme for RE this term is the Gospel and we will be looking at how Jesus brings good news.

Science - Our topic this term is living things and their habitats, where we will be focusing on minibeasts and microhabitats, which will be supported by our trip to Brockhill Park.

Geography - This term we are looking at the topic Sun and Ice. We will be using our knowledge of the UK on a map and will be making comparisons between our weather, the weather in Kenya and the weather in Antarctica. We will be looking at location on an atlas to explain these differences.

DT - This term we will be looking at mechanisms and will be building up to design our own miniature Ferris wheels. We will be looking specifically at how axels and wheels work.
