Autumn Term in Years One and Two.

Welcome back!

Hope your summer was jam-packed with fun and laughter.

We are kick starting this new year with a geography based topic "Cool Britannia!" We will be looking at the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and locating their capital cities and naming the seas around them.

Our D&T links in nicely with our English this half term as we are looking at ingredients in D&T and instruction writing in English. The children are fully absorbed in the Paddington Bear story by Michael Bond and have been wring lists and labels already based around him already.

We are also going to be focusing on events within our memories this half term and shall be looking at "Toys" and investigating how they have changed through the years. We will be calling on parents and grandparents help to help us achieve this.

Our Maths focus is going to be Place Value and lots of work will be done around what a number looks like when it is represented in various ways. The year 2 children will be consolidating their partitioning skills also using tens and ones appropriately.

PE is still on a Monday and Thursday. Please ensure you have your PE kits in school for both of these days.

This half term we will be doing:   Team Games - indoor / outdoor PE kit required.   

                                                        Throwing and catching- indoor kit required.                                    

Please ensure reading books, reading record books are brought to school every day.

Times Tables - We will be continuing to count in 2's, 5's and 10's with Year 1 and learning 2, 5 and 10 times tables with Year 2, your support with this would be appreciated.
