English

In English, we will be continuing to explore our topic 'Do all heroes where capes?'

To explore this further, we will be looking at a range of non-fiction and fiction to support our understanding and writing.

See some of the fascinating books below: 

We will also be using 'drawing club' to continue to support our fine-motor and develop our own imagination and ideas.

Maths

In Maths we have been looking at number from 1-10.

We have focused on; number formation, counting forwards and backward, ordering numbers from 1-10 and representing the numbers in different ways. 

We have been doing this with the help of our friends at 'Ten Town'.

Topic: 

Do all heroes where capes?

This half term our topic is all about People who help us.

During our topic sessions, the children will find out about people within our community who help us in different ways and also consider those who have helped us in the past. We will explore this topic using a range of activities both inside and outside the classroom. 

We will try to organise meetings with some of these people who will talk to the children about their roles. If any of our parents are everyday heroes, please let us know!

Additional Information 

This term, the children will be having PE sessions once a week on a Wednesday. The lessons will focus on introducing the children to PE. We will be learning how to play simple games which will help develop the children’s gross motor skills. 

Please ensure your child comes into school wearing the correct PE kit.
