This half term we have lots of fun learning planned out and we love to see any learning linked to this at home too! 

English

This half term we are focusing on the book 'Little Red.'  We are focusing on Traditional tales and using features such as past tense and possessive apostrophes.  We will keep practising our handwriting and the SPAG features we already know too! 

Phonics/Shared Reading

Our 'Author of the Term' is Jill Murphy.

Children still needing to access phonics will attend daily phonics groups based on their assessments.  Children who have come off the phonics programme will now focus more on fluency and different comprehension style questions. In Shared reading we are looking at a 'Dragon Poems.'

Maths

In Maths, we are continuing to work on addition and subtraction.  We will be adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers (including crossing the tens boundary) using base ten materials and blank number lines. Once more secure with this, we will be solving number problems.  Toward the end of the half term, we will move onto multiplication and division beginning with making equal groups.  

With Mrs Grimster we are focusing on Statistics - Tally charts, block graphs and pictograms. 

Topic – History Focus

This half term we are learning all about 'Local Heroes.'  We will be looking at different ways of life and comparing to the Victorian times, comparing Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth and at Lord Lever and the impact on Port Sunlight.

RE

This half term we are learning about 'Jesus' including how he healed people and other miracles he performed.  We will look at how these stories reveal Jesus as the son of God.  We will finish the half term by looking at Church and Charities and how they reflect Jesus' teaching.  

Science

In Science this half term, we are learning about 'Materials'.  This includes looking at what materials different objects are made from, which materials are best for certain objects and investigating materials (e.g. How well do different materials bounce?  Can solid objects change shape?  Which fabric is the stretchiest?).    

Art/DT

In DT

PE

In PE, we are working with First Footers for a dance performance and 'Hands' dribbling unit.

Music

In Music this half term, we will be learning some new songs and inventing a musical story.  

Computing

This half term, we will be learning what is meant by 'coding' and creating our own algorithms.  

Spanish

Hola! We will be learning about how to say hello and different things dogs like doing.

Heartsmart

Within Heartsmart, we will be looking at 'Don't hold on to what's wrong!'
