Maths

During Maths lessons, we are learning the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This term we are also exploring fractions, time, money and statistics.

We use concrete equipment and pictorial representations to support our learning. 

 

Curriculum 

Our curriculum topic for the Spring term starts with a big question 

Who has inspired you?

This term, the children will focus on answering the big questions through History, Art and Design and Technology. Children will focus on a number of skills in History to achieve their learning; finding similarities and differences, asking and answering questions, sequence in chronological order, use historical language. In Art, children will understand the work of a notable artist, show pattern and texture by adding dots and lines. In D&T, children will design products that are functional and appealing.

Science

This term our topic starts with the big question 

What does a plant need to grow?

Children will explore the following topics to answer their big question above: How seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants. They will investigate what plants need to grow and will find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy. They will carefully observe and sort seeds and will also recognise how some plants are able to grow from bulbs. They will plant a variety of seeds, describing how they grow. Children will have the opportunity to plant seeds and to observe growth. Working scientifically, children will observe seeds and plants using simple equipment.
