Our Learning This Term- Spring 2

This half term our topic is ‘Bedtime Stories’. 

 

AS READERS 

Read Write Inc: 

Children are spilt into smaller groups to concentrate on previously learnt sounds and blending these into words. Children will continue their phonics journey focusing on using fred talk to sound out cvc words and fred fingers to spell, e.g c-a-t, cat. We will also be introducing red words. These are tricky words which are not able to be spelt out phonetically for example, to, the, said. Reading every day to and with your child is more important than ever. Please can you record the reading you do in their Reading Diary. 

We will also be looking at stories during our story time linked to our bedtime stories topic.

 

AS WRITERS 

We will be continuing with Drawing Club each week for our literacy lessons. Each week we will be focusing on a story relating to bedtime stories and spend the week exploring the characters, the settings and begin to use our imagination into adventure time where we will ask the children big questions to extend the story and become storytellers themselves.

Week 1 – Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Week 2 – Not now Bernard

Week 3- Whatever next

Week 4 – You can’t take an elephant on a bus

Week 5 – The Odd Egg

 

AS MATHEMATICIANS 

In maths we are following the maths mastery approach. The children will begin to develop a deeper understanding of numbers by looking at subitizing and the composition of numbers up to ten. We will be introducing and exploring the meaning of height, length and time. We will continue to build on number knowledge up to ten by comparing, representing and showing one more and one less of a given number. The children will begin to look at number bonds to ten in 2 and 3 parts. We will also be look at the difference between 2D shapes and 3D shapes and learning the features of 3D shapes and what they are called.

AS EXPLORERS 

We will begin this term exploring the meaning of sustainability, making our own sustainable outfits and reusing and upcycling everyday items and objects to make something new and exciting. We will be making our own spaceships and rockets to travel to space to learn about who landed on the moon and what is in space. The children will be learning about the different types of travel methods we have in our local area and will be looking at the difference between past and present transport available in Harlow. We will end this term by becoming chefs and creating a beautiful afternoon tea to share with someone special to celebrate Mother’s Day.

PE 

Lessons will take place every Friday afternoon with our PE Staff. The children will need to come to school wearing their PE kits on this day.
 

HOME LEARNING 

Please ensure that you are logged on to Class Dojo so that you can see the reception newsletter uploaded every Friday. This will explain the learning taking place the following week in school, homework and any important reminders and dates you need to know. Photos and messages will also be posted regularly to show you what your child has been learning at school.
