May 8, 2019

Writing

We will be continuing with our work on Tuesday David Weisner with a focus on drama, asking questions and understanding police reports.

Maths

We will be moving onto measures. This week we will be covering the following objectives:

Comparing mass in kilograms.
Comparing capacity (ml/ litres)
Understanding millilitres
Understanding litres
Understanding temperature.

The key concepts the children need to know are that grams are greater than kilgrams, litres are greater than mililitres and the higher the number, the higher the temperature.

Reading scales in 2s, 5s and 10s when every number is given or there are missing numbers. You can help your child develop confidence with reading scales by baking a cake at home!

Art

We have been looking at hot and cold colours and will be exploring the artist Khandinsky this half term.

Geography

We will be using atlases to look at the countries, capital cities and seas in the United Kingdom.

Science

Our new topic is all about animals and habitats. We will be looking at things that are living, non-living and have never lived. Over the half term we will also be exploring a range of habitats including: the rainforest, desert and ocean We will be looking at how humans keep healthy as part of this unit.

We are going to be making the most of the good weather this term. We will be doing ball skills with tennis/ basketball and skipping.
