We are starting the new term with a fact file on badgers. In anticipation of our school trip, we will be learning about this fascinating mammal and creating a non-chronological report about it. The key skills we will be learning and applying include writing statements, exclamations, and questions; using the conjunctions because, or, and, and when; and using fronted adverbials to make our sentences more interesting for the reader. |
| Science | We will be sorting things into the categories, alive, dead and never alive. Alongside this we will be observing our bean seeds to see if germination has taken place. |

This half term, we are revisiting key skills from the year and applying them in a range of contexts. Our first topic is place value. This topic will include reading and writing numbers to 100 in numerals and words, identifying the value of each digit in a number, and partitioning numbers into tens and ones. |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
