This half term's topic is........
Land Ahoy!
Our Spring 1 topic is Land Ahoy! We will be developing our geography skills by using maps and atlases to locate and name the continents and oceans of the world. We will also find out about seafaring explorers from history, including Sir Francis Drake and what life was like on board a pirate ship. Learning compass directions will also help us locate hidden treasure. Arrghh me hearties!
Previous Topics
Our Autumn 2 topic is Towers, Tunnels and Turrets. We will be focusing on developing our history and geography skills by exploring what castle life was like and locating towers around the world. We will also have the opportunity to construct our own castles and towers and find out about animals that live underground.
Our topic for Autumn 1 is Beachcombers. We will be focusing on developing our science and geography skills by exploring beach habitats and finding out what lives in a rock pool. We will be visiting the beach most weeks, weather permitting.
Home Learning
Home learning will mostly be set online. Children can access weekly tasks via their Sumdog accounts. It is also expected that children practice their times table facts using TT Rockstars.
Regular tasks:
TT Rockstars - Times table facts
PE
We have daily LEAP sessions in the mornings, where we spend 15-20 minutes developing fundamental movement skills.
Due to Covid-19 regulations PE kit is not currently required.
E-Safety
Please can I remind you the importance of e-safety. Please watch the video and have a conversation with your child about the importance of being safe online. Some children might like to create a poster that we could display in the classroom.
