This half term our theme is “Sun, Sea and Sand”.

Our English learning journeys will be focusing on descriptive writing about the sea in the form of a poem, a postcard from a lost bear and instructions of how to build a sandcastle.

 

In Maths we have been continuing to develop our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction skills further, before moving on to finding fractions of a quantity. We will also be building on our problem solving skills in the contexts of measurement, time and money. 

 

In Geography this half term, we will be comparing the coast line of the UK to the coast line of South America, looking at the human and physical features. We will also be looking at the seaside in the past and how they have changed.

 

In science this half term we are focusing on what our bodies need to be healthy. We will be looking at the different food groups and how we can incorporate a balance of these into our diets. Linked to this we will be designing and making a wrap to eat in Design and Technology. 

 

In PSHE we will be thinking about change and in RE we will be talking about the Christian and Jewish ideas around God.

 

In Art, we will be exploring clay. We will look at different techniques to manipulate and join clay, creating textures. From this we will create our own clay sculptures. 

 

We will also be undertaking transition activities with the junior school to help familiarise ourselves with the environment and staff.
