Welcome back to term 2 after the October holidays! We have lots of new and exciting learning coming up this term! We will also be doing a block of outdoor learning which will link to the seasons.

This term in Literacy, we will be looking at comparing fiction and non-fiction texts. We will be looking at finding facts using non-fiction books. We will be writing lots of detailed descriptions about linking to times of years including Halloween and Bonfire night. We will be learning to add interesting details and vocabulary.

We will be following the EALP to learn weekly phonemes and following this up by lots of active spelling games and activities.

In term 2 , our focus in numeracy will be learning our number bonds, creating fact families and using our addition facts. We will be using a range of practical resources such as counters, cubes and number lines to see the connection between numbers and their addition facts.

In maths, we will be looking at length. We will investigating what resources we can use to measure items and will be using comparison words when describing the length of these.

In Health and Wellbeing we will be learning about personal hygiene and the important ways we can keep our bodies clean and healthy. We will continue to focus on our school values of SAFE, KIND and RESPECT. In PE, we will be learning a range of ball skills that we can use in team sports like basketball.
