Happy New Year everyone!
The children have settled extremely well back into the daily
routine.
They have enjoyed learning the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff and they
are starting to think of alternative ideas for their story, which they will
write next week. 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 topic starts with stories with recurring literacy
language. Our first traditional story will be The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The
children will role-play and create their own version of this story.
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 - the children will develop familiarity and typing skills with the
computer and keyboard along with, understanding that the internet contains a
large amount of information and recognise the need to use search tools and
search engines to begin to find information. The children will also create a
healthy eating poster.
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.
RE - the children will be learning different ways of giving thanks to
God. They will discuss where they like to go that is special to you. The
children will discuss and draw their special place. Within the term, we hope to
be able to visit Little Heath Christ Church.
On Wednesday 28th February, we will have a workshop and actors visiting
us on our history topic The Great Fire of London. We do require parent helpers
please either for the morning, afternoon or all day to support us with the
activities. Please let me know if you available.
Please could the children make sure
they have their full PE kit in school for next week’s lessons.

competition to name our reading tree in the KS2 library, you need to give your
