Hello Wrens! 

Welcome back, we hope you've had a lovely half term.

 

We have lots of exciting learning planned for this half term. The Reception children's learning is mapped out linking to the EYFS framework on the document below but they will be enjoying the same texts and themes as the Year 1 children. 

 

English - This term the children will be exploring Explanation texts linked to the lifecycle of a frog, animal poetry linking to the book Farmer Duck and Recount writing about our visit to Plymouth Aquarium.

Maths - In our maths lesson we will be learning about addition and subtraction, place value to 50, length and height and mass and volume.

Science - The science learning this half term is Animals including humas - wonderful and wild creatures.

 

History - Our History learning this term is focussed around the history of Pensilva and farming.

 

DT - In design technology we will be making pull-along toys focussing on wheels and axles.

 

RE - In RE we are learning why Easter matters to Christians.

 

Music - Our music lessons will be focussing on singing linked to the Easter performance at the Millennium Centre. 

 

PSHE - Healthy me and tooth brushing.

 

PE - Football and Orienteering 

 

To support your child at home please read their RWI book with them at least 4 times a week and help your child practice their spellings. Thank you. 

Miss King and Miss Thomas.
