In Maths we follow the White Rose curriculum and will be looking at Place Value and Calculation, focusing on the four operations. Before and after each Maths topic, we do a mini assessment to see the progress the children have made.

Science and Computing

Our first Science topic this term is Living Things and Their Habitats. The children will categorise living organisms and identify their different habitats. Before starting any programming in Computing, we will spend some time talking about how to be safe online.

RE and Music

Topic and PSHE

Science and Computing

The children are focusing on the story of Noah's ark this term, understanding what it means when promises are made, linking this to friendships and even the meaning of marriage. Following this, we will explore the story of Abraham.

In music, we are using the Charanga scheme, which encourages the understanding of the different aspects of a piece of music, such as rhythm, instrumentation and singing. Due to CoVid 19 restrictions, we are unable to sing in school, so, where possible, we are taking our lessons outdoors, and exploring clapping games, sounds in nature, making instruments from natural materials, and singing in rounds - exploring the harmony created by separate groups starting the same song at different times.
