TERM 5 and TERM 6

 

We can’t quite believe that we are heading into the Summer term but are very excited for all of the wonderful things that we have planned and all of the learning that will take place.  

 

Our final topic of the year is ‘Wiggle and Crawl’ and is certainly one that has already captured the interests of the children. The children thoroughly enjoyed their WOW day, which was spent at Wingham Wildlife Park. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, even if it meant hunting for the animals who were all hidden in the shade. The children found out some exciting facts about bugs and insects from one of the keepers and certainly asked him some fascinating questions too!  

 

To start our English, the children will be creating posters, looking to persuade people to support us with our Make a Difference Day, which will be something you will find out more about very soon. Watch this space! The children will also be writing character descriptions and thinking about how they can help our world through the use of narratives and explanation texts.   

In Maths, the children will complete their place value unit, focussing on numbers to 100. They will look at one more and one less and use resources to represent numbers and make comparisons. As well as this, the children will focus on money and time, which are great topics to support with at home, focussing on recognising coins, counting money and telling the time to the hour and half past.  

 

In Science, the children will complete their seasons topic by looking at Summer and considering how this season differs to the others we have studied. The children will get to go on a final walk around school to identify any changes they have seen since our first walk that we completed, back in Term 1!  They will also look at plants and will have the opportunity to grow their own looking at what they need to grow, as well as the structure of a plant and the job of each part.  

On a Monday, during PE, the children will focus on different ways to throw, catch and hit balls with more accuracy and continuing to look at how we move in different directions and refine basic balance and co-ordination skills.  

 

We look forward to completing all of the learning in Year 1, with this wonderful group of children, and look forward to sharing this with you.
