“At the Seaside”

Maths

In the first half term, we will start our learning on multiplication and division. We will learn to count in 2s, 5s and 10s before applying our knowledge to recognising and counting equal groups. 

English

Over this term, we will be looking at a variety of texts to inspire the children’s writing. We are looking forward to linking our learning with our history and geography learning by focusing on Lucy and Tom at the Seaside by Shirley Hughes. Our writing purpose will be writing to persuade. After this, we will move on to writing to inform by creating some explanation texts for how plants grow.

Science

In science, we will be learning about plants. There will be lots of opportunities to investigate and observe plants growing. We will also learn about the parts of a plant - classifying and grouping both plants and their parts. 

History and geography

History and geography this term will focus on the seaside. We will look at a range of human and physical features to start with and we will then go on to looking at a variety of beaches and their history.

Computing

This term we will be starting off by focusing on e-safety. The children will be consolidating their knowledge on how to stay safe online and be respectful to others.

Reading books will be sent home daily. There will be a reading book that is matched to their reading level and a ‘bedtime book’ which they choose independently and could be read to them by an adult if needed. It is important that you read every day with your child and record their reading in your child’s reading diary. Your child will need to bring their books and diaries to school every day. The children will also receive weekly spellings and some extra homework challenges.
