Term 2

Author Writer

This term, we will continue to improve our writing skills (as below) in various contexts.  Our stories this term will be The Kindness Elves and The Polar Bear and the Snow Cloud. 

 

• Write sentences using full stops and capital letters with spacing between the words.
• Form correctly sized and orientated lower-case letters, capital letters and digits
• Use co-ordinating conjunctions to extend sentences (e.g. so, but, and). 
• Use the noun phrases to describe and specify people, places and things 
e.g. ugly dragon/old castle/beautiful butterfly
• Use subordinating conjunctions to add extra information e.g. if, that, because
• Write about more than one idea and group related information and write coherently e.g. ordering information into simple sections with 2-4 related sentences, writing makes sense to the reader.

 

Mathematician

As mathematicians we will be learning about how to add using money, as well as finding change.  We will be solving multiplication and division problems using arrays and recognising equal groups. We will be counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. 

 

Enquiry

Our enquiry this term is ‘How can we help?’ We will be thinking about how we can live our lives to positively affect others, exploring random acts of kindness.  We will be learning about how the charities Caring in Bristol and St Peter’s Hospice help people and how we can help too. Each class will be collecting food items to create a reverse advent calendar- more to follow!
