A reminder about online safety:
If you are working online, don’t forget to be safe and savvy! 
Never give personal information to anyone! Think about the safety of what you are sharing or posting if you are online or on your phone.
Do not share your school log-ins or change your log-in details. We won’t ask you to do that.
Make sure you are accessing online material that is relevant for your age and tell an adult at home if you come across something that is not suitable for you, or if someone is trying to contact/talk to you that is not someone you know.

You can contact your teacher through Seesaw if you feel vulnerable or worried, or contact Childline 0800 1111.

This half term, we will be reading the texts ‘The Storm Whale’ by Benji Davies and ‘The Snail and the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson. Using these wonderful texts as inspiration, we’ll explore oral storytelling and role play, while also learning to write non-chronological reports about sea life and letters.

Maths
In Maths this half term, we will be learning about:

Numbers to 20
Addition and Subtraction within 20
Shapes and Patterns


Science

This half term in science, we will be learning all about materials. The children will be exploring different materials such as wood, plastic, glass, metal, and rock. We will be finding out about the properties of these materials and discovering whether they can melt, freeze, float, sink, or absorb water. The children will have lots of fun working scientifically through a range of exciting hands-on investigations. 

History

In our next history topic, our learning question will be ‘How did we reach the moon?’ We will be looking at photographs and clips of the moon to ensure the children understanding of the moons place in space.


R.E.

This half term our RE unit is called ‘What do Christians believe God is like?’ This term, children will be learning about what Christians believe God is like. They will explore how Christians see God as loving, powerful, and caring, and how He is shown as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
