Our Spring 1 theme is ‘Toy Box’.

Literacy

Our focus texts for this term will be ‘Harry and his bucketful of Dinosaurs’ and ‘Stanley’s Stick’, continuing with our toy theme! Our writing will be in the form of recounts, letters and instruction writing.

Once a week we will concentrate on spelling, punctuation and grammar. This will include practise of the use of question and exclamation marks, adding the prefix ‘un’ and suffix ‘er’.

Maths

This half term will begin with our annual ’Week of Inspirational Maths’ which will be held across the school. We learn about growth mindset skills and how to apply them to our everyday maths lessons. The children will continue to learn addition and subtraction facts within/ to 20 using a number line and other techniques. Counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s will also be a focus in our number fluency sessions. We will introduce money this half term, looking at coins and notes and combining coins to make values. And later we will have a go at ‘Measuring’, learning about capacity, length, mass, and temperature.

Science

This term we are going to be looking at ‘Animals including Humans.’ We will learn how to distinguish between herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. We are going to be looking at ‘dinosaur poo’ and dissecting it to see which dinosaur species it may have belonged to according to its diet! We will also learn how to identify groups of animals such as mammals, reptiles, and birds according to their body structure.
