Summer Term 1:
For the Summer 1 half-term we will be enjoying the topic ‘How old are the trees around us?’
For this topic, we will be super scientists. We will identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees. We will observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants. We will also use our scientific enquiry skills to complete an experiment. We will find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy.
In Art, we will be learning primary and secondary colours, colour mixing and creating textures using different tools. We will also explore collage techniques, experimenting with materials and evaluating their artistic choices. This unit of art aims to develop children’s understanding of colour, texture and composition in art – we can’t wait to get started!
In English, we will be completing lots of fun learning activities based on the stories of ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’ by Gareth Edwards and ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ by Roald Dahl. The children will be retelling and later innovating these stories. They will also use story maps and differentiated texts to help them write these narratives. We will be learning to plan our writing, breaking it up into beginning, middle and end, as well as correctly using their just do it rules! As well as going on a journey into the world of narratives, the children will also explore non-fiction texts and write instructions on how to make their own sandwich! We can't wait to see what the children achieve!
Click on the image below to listen to the stories:
In Maths, our clever Mathematicians are learning about position and direction. They will also be developing their knowledge of time, weight, volume and temperature. The children will also use concrete, pictorial and abstract methods to solve questions and challenges, using methods efficiently to solve problems. If you need any support with helping your child at home, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher via Class Dojo.
We will also be learning about making music using computers. They will listen to a variety of pieces of music and consider how music can make them think and feel. Learners will compare creating music digitally and non-digitally. Learners will look at patterns and purposefully create music.
To support your child further with their reading skills, please click here to watch Read, Write, Inc's engaging phonics videos. Your child will be familiar with the routines used in Read, Write, Inc.
