Here are some of the exciting things we will be learning this term…
Literacy
We will be revising all the sounds which have been introduced so far and reading and writing words by sounding out and blending. Common tricky words will be introduced. We will continue to enjoy a class story each day and discuss our Likes and Dislikes, Puzzles and Connections. We will continue to explore rhymes and rhyming words. We will learn some Scottish words and a Scots poem which we will recite at our Scots Verse Assembly.
Lots of listening and talking skills will be developed during the activities above.
We will be continuing with Talk for Writing and learning The Little Red Hen and some non-fiction writing. We will continue writing during play and by ‘having a go’ when writing stories.
Numeracy
We will continue to explore numbers to 30 and beyond! This will include addition and subtraction. A class shop will help us to recognise and use coins to £2. Lots of opportunities to develop number and maths skills through play will be available.
Health & Wellbeing
We will continue with our PATHS programme, exploring our feelings and complementing our friends. We will be discussing healthy eating and making good choices about what we eat and drink.
Broad General Education
We will be learning all about Scotland. The children will decide what they would like to find out about and how best to do this. There will be a whole school Scots Assembly for which we will learn a Scots verse. We will also learn some Scottish dances and taste some traditional food.
Other topics this term will be chosen by the children, following their interests.
