Welcome back Robins! I hope you had a lovely half term and enjoyed your time with friends and family. Heading into Winter, we have an exciting term ahead!
English
This term Robins will be reading How Santa Really Works. Pupils will explore the role of adjectives and conjunctions and how to accurately implement these into their own writing. Later on in the term, children will dive into the Oxford Treasury of Christmas poems, focusing on the structure and features of poems.
Geography
This term in Geography we will be exploring the United Kingdom. Pupils will name, locate and identify characteristics of the four countries and capital cities of the UK, as well as its surrounding seas.
Art
Tying in with our Geography learning this term, in Art children will create maps through various art forms, including drawing, working in relief, printmaking and designing stained glass.
Science
This term in Science, we will learn about the four seasons and changes to the environment over the year. Children will explore the features of plants and the key differences between deciduous and evergreen trees.
The KIRF (Key Instant Recall Fact) this term:
Year 1: Know all number bonds within 20.
Year 2: Recall number bonds to 50, including multiples of 5.
If you wish to practise number bonds at home, the Top Marks game 'Hit the Button' is a fun, free online game that ensures children build fluency and speed in a range of mathematic skills.
Later on in the term, children will have access to the online platform TT Rockstars. Children in Robins will begin to explore times tables in preparation for upcoming learning. Once updated, their log in information will be found inside their yellow reading record.
If you have any questions or queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Miss Thomas
