This half term we will be learning...

English
This half term we will be writing a poem based on 'Firework Night' and then recreating our own poem about 'Birthdays'. We will then sentence stack Last Stop on Market Street about visiting the soup kitchen and will then re tell the story but  about visiting a local library. 

 Maths
 Our Maths curriculum follows the White Rose Maths scheme, which is designed to help children develop a deep understanding of key mathematical concepts.

This half term we will use our knowledge from Place Value to 10 in Autumn 1 to use different methods to add and subtract numbers to 10 and recall our number bonds to 10.  We will then move onto shape were will name and sort 2D and 3D shapes before looking at shape patterns.

 

Science
In our science learning this half term, we will be exploring seasonal changes. We will observe our weather and the rainfall overtime and will also look at how the weather changes over the 4 seasons. 

 

Geography
Our first Geography topic is all about our local area. We will explore our local area including physical and human features. We will say what we like and dislike about our area before moving onto mapwork. We will also look at types of houses and different jobs in our area.

  

  Art

In Art children will focus on printing. Children will use different materials to create their printing such as body parts like hands and feet, rubbings and flowers. Children will also explore colour mixing. 

 
RE

 For our RE studies we follow the Kirklees Agreed Syllabus. 

 

PSHE

In PSHE, we will be using My Happy Mind. 

 

Music

 As musicians, we follow the Charanga music scheme. This half term our unit is called 'me!' Rhythm in the way we walk' alongside learning the songs for our nativity.

 

We will also listen to our whole school 'Focused Artist' each week. Here we will experience a broad genre of music whilst deciding if we like or dislike what we have been listening to.
