Literacy   

We will continue our literacy learning based on the book ‘Bog Baby’. Last week the children discovered a Bog Baby near the academy pond, and we have been looking after him ever since! 

This week the children will be making a Bog baby out of salt dough and then writing sentences to describe the Bog Baby they have made. They will also create a character profile of their very own ‘bog creature’ and using their reading skills sequence sentences from the story. 

This week in maths we will be looking at greater than, less than and equals to. < > = 

The children will be comparing sets of objects using the symbols and then using them to compare numbers. 

Phonics and Handwriting  

Phonics: This week we will be recapping ‘ai’ and learning about ‘ay’ and ‘a-e’.  We will practise applying these in our reading and writing. 

Handwriting: We will be revising the curly caterpillar letters o and q. 

Science – In Science, we will begin learning about different materials. The children will explore different types, such as plastic, wood, metal, fabric and paper. They will then work together to group the materials and discuss their properties.  

Art – To model malleable/natural materials and control form to assemble basic shapes or forms to create a bog baby. 

Outside PE – Exploring running and apply running into a game. 
Indoor PE – The focus of the learning is to apply 'champion gymnastics' to explore movements and balances using the 'small' parts of our bodies on the floor and on apparatus.  

Music – To apply our understanding of pulse and rhythm when listening and composing music.   

RSHE – In RSHCE we will be discussing respecting ourselves and others. We will also be choosing our class school councillors that will meet every term with Mrs Cavallo or Mr White to discuss matters arising within school. 

RE – Special places and what they mean to us. Why is our planet special?
