Good afternoon, the children have settled very quickly into the routine of the classroom.
Please see below a brief insight of
the topics and plans for this half term.
English
We will be learning about traditional
tales. The children will be reading the stories, sequencing events, carrying
out comprehension activities and writing their own stories. They will be
interviewing characters from the stories so that they are able to discover how
they feel and why they acted the way they did. We will use role play to tell stories and re-write story endings.
This week we have been sharing in
equal and unequal groups. Next week we will begin multiplication. The children
will learn the language of multiplication, that it is repeated addition and
will calculate answers using concrete objects.
This will be followed by problem solving
by using multiplication. We will be exploring scaling and patterns. Towards the
end of this half-term the children will begin learning how to tell the time.
Our science topic is plants, which
means we can carry out lots of field work outside. The children will be
planting beans and keeping diaries of their growth and development. We will be
identifying wild and cultivated plants and flowers. The field trips will help
us to identify trees. The children will learn to label the parts of a plant and
tree. They will learn about the condition’s plants need to enable them to
thrive and grow.

Being me in my world. We will discuss
children’s hopes and fears, recognise when they are worried and know who to ask
