Top i c s t h i s t e r mLiteracy In Literacy this term we are
going to have a very strong focus
on stories. We are beginning the term by looking at
traditional
stories and fairytales and mainly at Jack and the Beanstalk
which we will be studying closely. After much work onbeginnings,
middles and ends and some exciting puppet shows we
will move onto looking at stories from different cultures
and
begin to really focus on the settings and providing readers
with
lovely descriptions. This will lead into writing our own story
with
a fantasy setting which children will create themselves (in
a
shoebox) from items gathered from Wandsworth Common and
The Rookery. We will end the term by exploring poetry once
more and really focusing on shape poems. During all this we
will
be of course working on the structure of our sentences and
using different and interesting vocabulary. We are starting
the
term by reading The Secret Garden as our class book.
Numeracy
This term we will be continuing our work on vertical addition
and
subtraction and progressing onto using 4 digit numbers! We
will
be thinking about 3D shapes and giving change from a ten
pence
piece. We will be beginning work on cutting different shapes
into halves and quarters by drawing lines accurately and
shading
sections. We will also be continuing work on solving word
problems (known as embellished real-life stories) by drawing
the real-life story and also writing it in the form of a
mathsstory.
Impor t a n t N ot e s :Homewor k This will continueto be sent
home on Wednesdays to be

Top i c s t h i s t e r m ( con t in ued ) :RE Our focus for
this term will be Creation which again is closely linked toour
overall topic. We will be thinking about the bible story and the
role of people incaring for creation. We will also be talking a bit
about life and death.
PSHCE This terms topic will be Changes. We will be focusing
instaying positive when things change around you and how we change
over time. Wewill discuss changes that have already happened this
year and changes that will
happen in the future.

using MicrosoftPowerPoint and Microsoft Word as well as continuing
to use the Internet,Espresso and Education City.
Sci en c eOur new topic is Growing Plants which is strongly
linked to our overall topic thisterm. It is nice to have a Science
focus in our topic and we will be building onchildrens knowledge
and understanding in this are from Reception. Givingchildren the
opportunity to grow many different kinds of plants in different
ways e.g.
from seed, seedling, cutting.
Top i c- What i s i n your garden?This topic will have a strong
Science focus in terms of growing lots of different kinds of
plants. We are also hoping to bringin some Geography e.g. Where
does our food come from? /Plants around the world. It should
provide us with manyartistic opportunities as well. We are going to
look at the artist Andy Goldsworthy and create our own pieces of
art in his
style. We are also going to create our own fantasy worlds in
shoeboxes to inspire a setting for some writing later in the
term.We will be looking at mini-beasts and will hopefully have the
opportunity to build a bug hotel!
