<\/p>\nNumeracy & Mathematics<\/p>\n
Estimating & Rounding – the children are exploring and discussing numbers in their environment.\u00a0 They are beginning to use the language of before, after and between when talking about the position of a number on a line or track.<\/p>\n
Number & Number processes –\u00a0 the children are\u00a0using number rhymes and songs to explore counting.\u00a0 They are exploring counting amounts within 10\u00a0and have an understanding that the last number counted tells them the quantity.\u00a0 They are working hard to recognise and recall numerals to 10, then 20, including zero\u00a0and identify missing numbers in these sequences.\u00a0 The children are counting on and back in ones along number lines and floor tracks.\u00a0 They\u00a0have an understanding that when you add the number gets bigger and one more is the \u00a0number after.\u00a0 We will then\u00a0continue to explore adding on two and partition numbers to build up story facts eg. 5+0,\u00a04+1, 3+2,\u00a0 etc.<\/p>\n
Fractions, Decimals & Percentages – the children will share amounts equally into smaller groups and share a whole into two equal parts (halves) and know that they are the same size.<\/p>\n
Time –\u00a0 as part of our birthdays topic we have been exploring the sequence of the \u00a0days of the week and months of the year.\u00a0 We will also\u00a0discuss the key features of the\u00a0seasons.<\/p>\n
Measurement – we are using the vocabulary tall, short, this, fat, heavy and light and comparing more than two objects by size – big, bigger, biggest.<\/p>\n
2D shapes & 3D objects – recognise and\u00a0name common 3D shapes in real life contexts.\u00a0\u00a0We will sort 3D and 2D shapes and objects using given and own criteria and identify 2D shapes within 3D shapes.<\/p>\n
Data Handling – the children have made a birthday pictogram of their birthdays and this will be extended to include other types of information which will be\u00a0gathered and sorted to include Carroll diagrams.\u00a0 The children will match and sort objects with a set of criteria based on properties.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Literacy & Modern Language<\/p>\n
From now and \u00a0until December the children will cover the following sounds and common words:<\/p>\n
a\u00a0 s\u00a0\u00a0 at.\u00a0 t\u00a0 p\u00a0 the I.<\/p>\n
i\u00a0 n\u00a0 is\u00a0 it.\u00a0 r\u00a0 m\u00a0 an\u00a0 in.<\/p>\n
d\u00a0 e\u00a0 and,\u00a0 am.\u00a0 c\u00a0 k\u00a0 me, my.<\/p>\n
g\u00a0 l\u00a0 did,\u00a0 as.\u00a0 f\u00a0 o\u00a0 he, can.<\/p>\n
b\u00a0 u\u00a0 we, into.\u00a0 h\u00a0 w\u00a0 go,\u00a0 get.<\/p>\n
They children will begin to use the above in their writing and recognise these words in stories.\u00a0 The children will begin to read Oxford Reading Tree stories, stage 1 and 2 and we have already started reading these in class.\u00a0 They will also be introduced to core words in the stories which will come home with reading books.\u00a0 Books should be read every night.<\/p>\n
The children will be introduced to the French puppet Camembear who will introduce colours in French.<\/p>\n

Health & Wellbeing<\/p>\n
P. E. days are Monday and Thursday and the children will participate in Games (large and small ball skills) and Gymnastics.\u00a0 Nearer to Christmas we will learn party dances.<\/p>\n
This term we are finding out about internet safety through a story about Digiduck.\u00a0 The children are also exploring feelings, safe adults in the community, Code of Conduct around the school, being safe, being seen road safety during winter months and where food comes from as part of our Farm topic.\u00a0 The children also brush their teeth every day in class so we are also discussing cleanliness and good hygienic practices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We will be completing our Birthdays topic by the end of the week and will begin The Farm after October holidays.\u00a0 We will also complete a Vibrations and musical instrument topic before Christmas.\u00a0 These topics will include art and design painting,\u00a0 drawing and collage activities.\u00a0 The Nativity will cover all Drama outcomes.<\/p>\n
The children are using computers and laptops in class to play games and begin word processing.\u00a0 At the moment they are practising word processing skills in order to become more familiar with the keyboard.\u00a0 It would be helpful at home to practise logging on and off programmes.<\/p>\n
