A big thank you to all the parents for dropping in and supporting your children with Autumn Art. They enjoyed the fun experience with you in our classes.

Children enjoyed meeting an author -Grant Koper who wrote The Day Granny’s Knickers Blew Away and hopefully feel inspired to follow in his footsteps for the future.

English

We have a new focus text called ‘The Lonely Beast’ by Chris by Chris Judge. Children will be making predictions, differentiate between questions and statements, role play key events, write thinking bubbles / speech bubbles as a key character and also sequence key events.

Maths

Children will finish their learning about 3D shapes and revisit Place value. They will make numbers using ten frame, numicon, counters. order numbers -smallest to greatest / greatest to smallest, understand greater than/ lesser than / equal to.

Science

Children will begin to learn about the different types of materials – metal, plastic, fabric, glass, wood, paper etc…They will sort materials into groups on the basis of their properties and begin to distinguish between an object and material from which it is made.

Children will also continue their learning about seasons focusing on Autumn.

P.E

Children will continue developing different ways of travelling as well as develop their core strength and balance.

ICT

During ICT sessions, we will be learning to use technology purposefully to create, organise store and retrieve digital content-log on, type name and surname, change font, size, colour and type a sentence using capital letter, space and full stop. Children will watch Hector’s world.

History

We will be celebrating ‘Black History Month’. Our class will be talking and writing about ‘Barack Obama’. Who is he? Why he is special? What did he do? Where did he live?

Phonics

Please continue to practice sound recognition with your child. Encourage them to apply their phonic knowledge every time you read or write with them.
