Curriculum

Autumn Term English:

We will be working on our sentences, making sure we have put capital letters and full stops in them. We will also be using exclamation marks and question marks. We will be checking for finger spaces and correctly formed letters. As well as this, we will be adding adjectives to our sentences to make them more interesting and using and to make our sentences longer. We will also be using our knowledge of phonics to help with spellings and spelling common words independently.

Our main texts will be The Tiger Child and How Rabbit stole the Fire, both by Joanna Troughton. We will also be looking at various non-fiction books about the Great Fire Of London.

We will be following the Little Wandle phonics scheme. Children will have guided reading sessions matched to their phonics level at least three times a week and then bring this book home to practice at the end of the week.

Autumn Term Maths:

In Maths we will be working on place value and addition and subtraction, using numbers to 20 and beyond.

Autumn Term Science:

In Science we will begin our studies of the seasons, and be looking fo signs of Autumn. We will also be working on the topic ‘Materials and their properties’ and be thinking about which materials are suitable for which objects and why.
