In Maths we will be continuing to develop fluency in number bonds and skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s as well as further developing our grasp of addition and subtraction. In Year 1 we will be looking at equal groups and getting stuck into fractions for the first time! Year 2 will continue with multiplication and division and move onto fractions and more work on time.
In our English lessons we will be looking particularly at The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers as well as some of his other books. We will be writing parts of narratives and letters. Spellings will start in Year 1 and continue in Year 2 each week, and these will be sent home. Daily phonics and guided reading lessons will continue to support reading and writing.
In History we will be learning about space exploration over time and looking at individuals who have made significant contributions to our knowledge of space.
In DT we will be exploring wheels and axles and making simple moon buggies.
In Science Year 1 will be comparing and sorting animals into groups. We will also be describing properties of materials. Year 2 will be considering what humans and other animals need to survive as well as investigating the properties of paper.
Our RE topic is all about the importance of Shabbat for Jewish people and how certain days have a special place in our lives.
We always enjoy seeing and hearing what you have been up to outside of school!
We will be continuing to set homework.
Your child will change their phonics book on a Monday ONLY at the start of the day. They will not need to change them at any other time.
Don’t forget, that every day the children need: – a re-fillable water bottle, book bag to hold their reading record, spelling book and reading book and their lunch box (if they are not having school dinners).  We have had lots of water bottle spillages from bottles that have lids that need to be completely removed in order to drink from them. If possible, could water bottles have a lid that remains attached for drinking.
Please send your child to school wearing their PE kit (they do not need their school uniform to change back into). Long hair should be tied up and no jewellery should be worn – including earrings. Ears that have been recently pierced and cannot be removed will need to be covered.
We will have PE on the following days:
