What? When? Why? Where?

Mr Godden will be running some exciting ‘taster sessions’ to give the children an idea of the great activities he will be doing in his new after school club.

We are completing our work on mass and volume. We will be measuring and comparing capacity through undertaking practical problems. We will also be starting our new unit on place value for numbers up to 50 by practising to count from 20 to 50 in different ways.
| In our RE we will be comparing different Christian crosses and learning about their meanings.
In PSHE we will be exploring different household objects and sorting them into those which are safe and unsafe. Jigsaw Jack will be teaching us about ways we can keep safe around those objects which can be unsafe. In Art we are learning about the artist William Morris. We will be planning our own nature themed tile designs, which we will be using in future lessons to make repeated prints of. In mindfulness, we will be exploring our inner calm. Like a bottle of fizzy drink we all have bubbles inside of our tummy and sometimes when we feel a big emotion we feel ‘shaken’ and can feel the bubbles rising up. We will learn to use our breath to help us calm our bubbles on the inside. |
Children will be bringing home real and fake words to add their sound buttons to, in preparation for the phonics screening check.
