Term 4 CLIC Targets – P1

As part of our Big Maths scheme in school we do CLIC sessions for core numeracy.  Each letter stands for an area of numeracy.

C – Counting

L – Learn Its (these are number facts which we learn so they can be quickly recalled without needing to work out the answer).

I – It’s Nothing New

C – Calculations

These are the topics we will be covering in term 3.

Counting

Saying and reading numbers to 10/20/100.

CORE number to 10 (showing good understanding by comparing, ordering, estimating and doing number stories)

Counting actual objects.

Counting on and back 1.

Counting multiples of 10.

Learn Its

The doubles from 1-5.  1+1  2+2  3+3  4+4  5+5

2+1=3    2+3=5

It’s Nothing New

Doubling numbers 1-5.  double 1 is… etc.

Calculations

Addition – knowing how to find the total.

Subtraction – knowing to take away and count how many are left.

Multiplication – setting out groups and counting the total.

Division – share out objects fairly.

 

These resources can be used to reinforce our CLIC targets at home.

Term 4 Overview

We have another busy term coming up in P1/2. Here are some of the activities we will be doing this term:

Literacy

P1

The  children are continuing with the Jolly Phonics program in class. We will cover our last 4 digraphs (2 letter sounds) at the start of the term and then move on to using the sounds for blending and segmenting, reading and writing.

The last set of sounds is as follows:

oi, ue, er, ar

After completing all the sounds we will continue to consolidate and revise all the sounds covered throughout Primary1. We will then move on to spelling homework. starting with 3 letter cvc words, focusing on the same middle vowel each week.

We will continue with our reading books on a Monday and Thursday. The children will read their book with their group and an adult in class and discuss new words.

Common words from each set of reading books will be put in your child’s word pot. These can be used at home to match to the words in the books or to sight read when your child is able.

We will also practise two common words per week. These are words that appear frequently in texts. These are in the white homework book and should be completed for Thursdays.

P2

The P2 children will be working on their own phonic sounds each week with spelling lists of words containing the sound, and two common words. Please write out the words and sentences for homework each week and spelling test will be on a Friday.

Sounds for this term:

nk, er, ir, ur, au, aw,

Reading will be done in school on a Monday and Thursday and the children will also take these books home to read. Comprehension related to the reading books will be done in school.

Our focus for grammar this term will again be adjectives (describing words). We will try to use some in our writing. We will also revise nouns and use these along with adjectives to create interesting sentences.

This term we will be writing instructions and imaginative stories.

Numeracy

P1

We will again be working on addition and subtraction this term alongside numbers from 10-20. Numeracy targets for CLIC are in a post with a CLIC overview for the term and some suggested resources which can be used at home.

Our topic maths this term is money, information handling, symmetry and measurement.

P2

The P2 children will do daily CLIC sessions and Beat That at the end of the week. Numeracy targets for CLIC are in a post with a CLIC overview for the term and some suggested resources which can be used at home.  We will continue with number to 100 and do some written addition, subtraction and multiplication.

Topic maths for this term is money, information handling, angles and symmetry and measurement.

Learning Across the Curriculum

We are going to study two topics this term!

  1. World of Work – we will learns about different jobs and think about what we would like to be when we grow up.
  2. Pupil Choice – the children will get to choose a topic they would like to learn about for the last part of the term.

The children will also have some time at the end of the session for transition and will get to meet their new teacher and classmates in their new classroom.

Health and Wellbeing

We will be using the Bounce Back resilience program. In term 4 we focus on humour and star success.

We will explore planning for choices and changes and substance misuse.

In PE will focus on skills using equipment and sports practice.

Our gym day is a Monday. The children can come to school on a Monday wearing clothes suitable for gym and do not need to change into shorts.

Outdoor Learning

We have two outdoor learning sessions with Mr Miller this term – 17th May and 28th June.
