Our Learning this Term:

This half term we will be exploring ‘Whatever Next’ by Jill Murphy.
We will learn about Space and design our own characters. We will also be looking at number bonds and addition, using Numicon to support. Towards the end of the term we will prepare for our transition into Year 1.

In Communication and Language we will revisit our feelings and talk about how to manage them appropriately. Discuss our thoughts and feelings about Year 1. Think about the questions we would like to ask to find out more information about our upcoming year.

In Maths, we will focus on the correct formation when writing numbers 0-9. Count and recognise numbers to 100, exploring patterns on 100 squares. We will find more and less than a given number and learn to count in 2s, 5s, and 10s.

For Personal Health Social and Emotional Development we will discuss how our bodies change over time and what makes us unique. Know what to do if we are feeling worried about change.

In Literacy we will explore non-fiction texts to explore Space and create a class fact file about a planet. Read the story ‘Whatever Next’ and write about what we would like to take to space. Create new characters and write invitations to a picnic.

For Physical Development we will begin to prepare for our upcoming Sports Day by participating and competing in team activities, practising the skills needed for running, throwing and kicking and showing team spirit.

In Understanding the World, we will look at the So lar System, learn the names of the planets and talk about the different features. Discuss other ways you can travel by air. Explore light and dark and making shadows.
