Summer Term 2022

This term we will continue to investigate animals, growing and changing.  

Our key areas of Literacy and Numeracy.

In Literacy we will be looking at a variety of stories, including the Rumble in the Jungle, Commotion in the Ocean, Jack and the Beanstalk, the tiny seed, the very hungry caterpillar, tadpoles promise and the very lazy ladybird.  We will continue concentrate on writing sentences independently using full stops, capital letters and spaces between our words. We will write our own stories, concentrating on the characters. We will also write non-fiction books about animals and invent our own animals. In our writing we will continue to ensure that our letters are formed correctly. We will follow our interests during challenge time, perhaps writing books, lists, menus, signs, notes, etc.  

In Numeracy we will be focussing upon capacity, addition, subtraction, shape, time, doubling and halving, fractions and number games. We will continue to recognise our numbers to 100 and beyond as well as forming our numbers correctly. 

As Scientists, we will continue to explore seasonal changes. We will discuss the changes in animals and plants.  

As Geographers we will discuss Summer and any changes that we can see.  

As Historians we will continue to discuss our immediate past: what we have been doing during our holiday and at the weekend. 

As Creative Technicians we will continue to use our art area, making items to use during our challenge time. 

As Linguists we will be learning action songs, following commands as well as learning about the house, family, animals and mini-beasts. We will also consolidate previous language.  

As Musicians we will be exploring the use of pitch, tempo and dynamics through a variety of action songs and games based on animals. We will become members of a class orchestra, following a conductor.
