Happy New Year everyone!
The children have settled extremely well back into
the daily routine.
They have enjoyed learning the story of ‘The bear
under the stairs’ which we will continue next week. The children wrote about a
real life experience of something that scared them. In maths, the children have
enjoyed learning money, solving calculations using different coins and notes.
Please see below the lessons for next week and an
insight of the topics we will cover in this term.
English - our book is ‘The bear under the stairs’
by Helen Cooper. The children next week, will write a letter in role as a
character and create a reply. We will also be looking at the different
graphemes for the grapheme ‘air’.
Maths - the topic is on money. Next week, they will
be counting, comparing and calculating sums using notes and coins.
Science - our topic is animals, including humans.
The children will discuss and observe that animals, including humans have
offspring, which grow into adults, by describing the changes to animals as they
grow.
History - the topic is on the Great Fire of London.
We will start the topic by introducing where and when the Great Fire of London
started.
D&T - the topic is preparing fruit and
vegetables. The children will discuss fruit and vegetables and investigate a
variety of fruit and vegetables to understand where a range of fruit and
vegetables come from.
ICT – our topic is robot algorithms. The children
will give instructions and then explain what happens when we change the order
of instructions and they will design and test their algorithm.
PSHE - the topic is Dreams and Goals, encouraging
the children to stay motivated when doing something challenging. The children
will identify their successes and know how this makes them feel proud.

of giving thanks to God. They will discuss where they like to go that is
