English
In English, we are immersing ourselves in the epic world of Beowulf. We are exploring the characters, settings and themes within this famous Anglo-Saxon tale, while developing our vocabulary and descriptive writing skills. The children are enjoying discovering this exciting and sometimes frightening story!
Maths
In Maths, we are beginning the year by revisiting and strengthening our basic mathematical skills. This will help us to build confidence and accuracy before moving on to more collaborative group work, where we will apply our skills to solve problems and explain our mathematical thinking.
Science
In Science, we are learning all about teeth and digestion. We are exploring the different types of teeth, their functions and how we look after them. We will also investigate what happens to food as it travels through our digestive system.
P.E.
In PE, we are focusing on fundamental movement skills. We are developing our running, jumping, balancing, throwing and catching skills, while also working on coordination, control and teamwork. These skills will provide a strong foundation for a range of sports and physical activities.
Foundation Subjects
⚔️ History
In History, we are travelling back in time to explore the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We will investigate who they were, where they came from and what life was like during this fascinating period of British history. We will also explore the impact they had on Britain.
🗺️ Geography
In Geography, we are exploring Scandinavia, learning about its countries, landscapes, climate and people. We will develop our map-reading and geographical skills while discovering what makes this region of the world so unique.
🎨 Art
In Art, we are learning about the inspiring artist Frida Kahlo. We will explore her distinctive style and use her work as inspiration for our own creative pieces, experimenting with colour, symbolism and self-portraiture.
🎵 Music
In Music, we are very lucky to be working with an external music company, led by Miss Benson. The children will have the opportunity to develop their musical skills, explore different aspects of music and enjoy making music together through practical activities.
🌍 RE
In RE, we are exploring the theme 'Welcoming New Life into the World'. We will consider how different religious traditions celebrate and welcome the arrival of a new baby, exploring special ceremonies, traditions and the importance of family and community.
Social Developmental Play
This term, we are focusing on developing positive friendships, building confidence and encouraging children to make independent choices during their play. We are exploring how to share, take turns, listen to others and work together as part of our classroom community.
The children have opportunities to choose activities that interest them, follow their own ideas and develop their creativity through play. We are enjoying seeing their personalities, interests and imaginations shine through as they learn and play together!
