Literacy

This term the children in P2b will be continuing to use the Active Literacy programme for spelling. This includes phonemes and tricky words.

The children will continue to receive a new reading book each week that is read in school twice a week and can be read at home. Every week the children will complete a variety of comprehension tasks that relate to their book.

P2b will also be exploring the use of capital letters and full stops in all writing tasks. We will also be looking at nouns, verbs, adjectives and connectives, using these in our writing when we can.

We will be looking at a variety of writing genres across term 1. These will include poetry, instructional writing, characterisation, setting, imaginative and persuasive. We will also be looking at “Have a go writing” which allows the children to explore their imagination and spelling without much teacher input.

Numeracy

This term we will be exploring number talks. This will involve using rekenreks, number lines and subitising.

In numeracy we are looking at numbers to 100, place value and exploring mental strategies to add within 20. We are also looking at 2D and 3D shapes and time. Within place value, we will explore tens and units and partitioning numbers. We will also be focusing on number bonds to increase the children’s speed and accuracy.

Health and Wellbeing

For P.E P2b will be exploring large ball skills, throwing, catching and passing. This will lead to playing mini team games. We are also looking at keep fit and how important it is for us to keep our bodies fit and healthy. Within our keep fit classes, we will be looking at movement skills.

Later in the term the children will enjoy some Christmas dancing in preparation for their party.

P2b will also be exploring friends and friendships and they key attributes that make a good friend. This will lead on to bullying and how the  abilities and needs of the children and other young people are all different and that’s what makes them unique. The children will also discuss appropriate targets for themselves and how to encourage each other to do their best.

Through our I.D.L ‘Teeth and Eating’ the children will conduct science experiments and identify how to keep our teeth healthy by brushing them and by providing our bodies with healthy food.

We will also be exploring the topic “people who help us and others ” which will allow the children to learn about different jobs that people have who help us and others. This will also allow the children to interact with the community.

P2b will also learn about the different services that will keep them safe and healthy.

Numeracy and Maths

This term the focus our numeracy focus will be on place value of numbers to a million and addition and subtraction. They will develop an understanding  that;

Place Value

  • The place of a number determines its value, ie units, tens, hundreds etc
  • Zero is a place holder
  • The lowest value column is lowest to the right
  • Each column is 10 times more than the one to it’s right

Online games to reinforce place value – https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/place-value

Addition and Subtraction

  • How to add and subtract numbers greater than 4 digits using a variety of strategies, including partitioning (breaking a number into value groups), using a number line and formal column sums
  • Rounding to estimate an answer

The children will also develop their problem solving skills by completing tasks which reinforce the general class learning on place value.

Literacy

Reading

This term the children will read two novels as a whole class group, Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo and Wonder by R.J. Palacio. We will continue to use our six reading strategies – Prediction, Metalinguistics, visualisation, Inference, Main Idea and Summary to help demonstrate a deeper understanding of the story.

Writing

The focus for writing will be narrative, looking closely at developing a setting and characterisation. The children will be encouraged to use figures of speech such as simile, metaphor, personification and hyperbole.

We will also be writing explanation reports as part of our Health and Wellbeing Topic on the Human Body.

Listening and Talking

In November the class will be asked to prepare a speech on a country of their choice.

Science 

Our class topic will be The Human Body. The children will gain a good understanding of the functions of the main organs within the body. As part of this topic they will also look at ways in which to keep their bodies healthy.

Health and Wellbeing

This term we will be discussing mental health. Using the Pixar film Inside Out the children will examine the different emotions that we all feel and look at the changes which can happen as we grow older.

In PE the focus will be on Netball and circuits.
