Term 2

We have lots of exciting opportunities for the children this term and we are also very excited about learning the songs and lines for our Christmas Nativity!

Maths

In Maths this term we begin to move our learning towards addition and subtraction where the children will be solving problems and applying the strategies taught to solve number calculations.

English

The texts we shall be looking at in English this term are 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff', 'Goldilocks' and 'The Snowman'. The children will be given lots of opportunities to develop their speaking and listening skills before retelling the stories themselves. 

Today, we had to unjumble pictures from our new text that had been mysteriously cut up! We managed to piece the pictures together to reveal our new text 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. We then enjoyed listening to the story and relaying key phrases!

Today was all about acting! The Kindness class worked together to retell the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff and perform to the rest of the class. The children spoke with confidence and retold the story perfectly. 

Geography -  Where in the school are we?

Design Technology -  What makes a structure strong? - Bends or joins?

This week in D.T we explored various free-standing structures. The children worked incredibly hard to generate vocabulary to describe them, their structure, and the materials they are made from. 

Religious Education - Who made the world?

Music - Why do we have to sing in time with each other?
