MATHS
In Maths our number work, both mental and written, will include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Children will be expected to recall and use 2, 5 & 10 times tables in practical activities with confidence and work towards other tables when they are ready as well as recognising and ordering numbers to 100 and beyond. We will work with basic fractions, data and statistics. We will continue to learn to tell the time to five minute intervals using an analogue clock. We will be working on recognition and use of coins, please let your child use a variety of coins to buy things in shops and count out the change given. High priority will be given to problem solving and investigations in order to allow the children to develop mathematical thinking skills.
SCIENCE
Our work in Science will involve observing and describing how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants. We will learn how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy.
GEOGRAPHY
In Geography we will be looking at seasonal and daily weather. This will also be linked to our work on habitats. |
ART
In Art our focus will be on collage, using papers, fabric and materials such as drift wood. This will also link closely to our work on habitats and uses of everyday materials in science.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Work planned for P.E. and Games will develop bat and ball skills involving Striking and Fielding as well as a variety of Athletics activities.
MUSIC
In Music we continue to use Charanga, our online resource. We will be learning about beat and duration. We will also be looking at dynamics as well as putting our composition skills to use.
