Autumn 1
Key Days:
Indoor PE - Thursdays - This half term we will be looking at gymnastics during our PE sessions which are currently being led by the wonderful active fusion.
Outdoor PE - Wednesday - Forest school will take place on a Wednesday afternoon with the lovely Mrs Burns.
Reading records and new books - Thursday - Please can all reading records and books be brought in on a Thursday for them to be checked and changed. Children are expected to read at home to an adult at least 4 times a week as part of their homework.
Spelling tests are on a Friday. Throughout the week we use 'Little Wandle phonics bridge to spelling' to introduce new spellings for sounds we know and practice spelling them. The children then take the focused spellings for that week home on a Friday to practice for homework, in preparation for their spelling test the following Friday.
Writing
In writing this half term, we will be writing a set of instructions with the help of our class text "How to wash a woolly mammoth." We use Talk for writing to immerse our children in the chosen genre and imitate one together, before creating our own.
We had a go at giving and following instructions, focusing on our imperative (bossy) verbs:
Topic
Our focus this half term is the Stone Age as we step back in time and discover artefacts from the Stone Age that tell us what life was like. We are using a cross-curricular approach as our topic is embedded throughout our learning for example, we are also looking at rocks in science and creating our very own cave paintings in art!
We have already taken on the roles of hunter-gatherers to imagine what jobs people had to do in the Stone Age and how it is different from our world today:
