    Term 4

    Another busy term ahead and one where the children will be able to practise and rehearse their learning across the curriculum.

    In Maths this term we embed our knowledge of place value to 50 adding, taking away and measuring length and mass.

    Today we have been counting in 10s and making the numbers using numicon, ten frames and tens sticks. We talked about how many ones there are in each number and how many 10s there are.

     

    In English, we will continue to understand how capital letters and full stops are used through the writing of instructions and writing simple stories based around Jack and the Beanstalk and The Gingerbread Man.

    History -  How has farming changed over time?

    We have begun our learning all about farming by looking at the differences between Arable and Pastoral farming. The children then explored what the term 'woad' meant and discovered the significance for Boston. They then learnt what it was used for and observed how it would die material and their hands blue! The children were fascinated about it's significance in the past and how it can be used today.

    DT -  Why is food tasting important?

    Religious Education - How do Muslims live?

    PSHE - Is everyone special?

    We learned how to cross the road safely and how to stay safe near the roads during our Walk Safe workshop.

    P.E - Fitness

    We have enjoyed the start of our new unit of learning all about fitness. We explored how exercise can affect our mood!

    Science - Are we all the same or different

    Music - How can we make a clean sound? 

    This half term we are learning to play the ocarina!
