English
We will begin the new school year by exploring a lovely text called ‘Beegu’ which is a much-loved tale about friendship, respect and the importance of including others. The children will be writing in role as Beegu as well as creating and describing their own friend for her.
Maths
During the first half term we will be looking at number and place value as well as addition and subtraction. The children will still have access to their Numbots accounts so any additional practise at home would be greatly appreciated!
R.E.
This half term, children will be looking at ‘Who is a Muslim and how do they live’.
History
Our new history topic is ‘Who Was the Most Powerful Queen?’ We will be starting this topic by looking at the life of Elizabeth I. We will be developing an understanding of what roles and responsibilities a monarch had and placing significant events on a simple timeline.
P.E.
PE will be on Thursdays. Please can all children have a labelled PE kit to be kept in school. Long hair must be tied back and earrings removed/taped for safety.
Science
Our learning over the next few weeks will explore what animals and humans need for survival.
PSHE
Me and My Relationships.
Music
Call and response – animals.
Art
Craft and design – map it out.
Spellings
Children will be given their new half-termly spelling letters. They can also be found at the bottom of this page. Please ensure you continue to help your child learn their spellings and apply them in their writing; this is often the part children struggle with once they have learnt them for a test.
Homework
Your child can access Numbots and TT Rockstars weekly. These are fantastic apps to support children’s maths fluency.
Reading
Your child will bring home a reading book on Mondays, to be returned the following Monday. Listening to your child read regularly will really support them with their fluency and decoding. Children will now also be able to visit the School Library each fortnight to choose a book to read in class.
