1st Half Autumn Term
During this half term, our theme will be ‘Where we live’. As part of our geography lessons, we will be locating where we live on an aerial photograph and recognising features within our local area. We will also follow simple routes around the school grounds. Our mathematics lessons will be focussed on exploring numbers to ten. We will be learning how to represent these numbers in different ways using a range of mathematical equipment. We will also be learning how to add and subtract numbers to ten and learning how to record mathematical statements to match these calculations. During our art lessons, we will be exploring types of lines to develop our drawing techniques. We will find out about the famous artist Kandinsky and look at some of the artwork that he created. Our science lessons will be all about materials. We will be finding out about the different types of materials in our environment and learning how to sort them according to their different properties. PE Lessons this half term, will be focussing on infant agility and body management. We will be looking at how we can control our bodies to perform simple skills like balancing and jumping effectively.
2nd Half Autumn Term
During this half term, our theme will be ‘Terrific Toys. As part of our history lessons, we will be learning to understand changes over time by looking at toys both past and present. Our mathematics lessons will continue to focus on exploring the numbers to ten. We will be learning how to add and subtract numbers to ten and learning how to record mathematical statements to match these calculations. We will also be learning all about 2D and 3D shapes. During our design technology lessons, we will be learning how to make bread. We will learn how to make dough and create our own bread rolls by adding a range of different fillings. During this half term, our science lessons will continue to focus on materials. We will be investigating the different properties of materials by carrying out our own practical investigations. PE Lessons this half term, will be focussing on dance. We will be looking at how we can control our bodies to perform simple dance sequences using some music for the Toy Story movie.
