Autumn Term 2023

Welcome back to school! We are really excited to have you all back at school for the Autumn term. We hope you have all had an
enjoyable summer holiday. This term our topic is ‘Explorers’. In history we will be learning about two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Helen Sharman, whilst learning about these significant individuals and events we will be exploring the UK in Geography and discussing different
human and physical features. In Science we will be learning about two topics in Science, ‘Animals’ and ‘Materials’.

In ‘Animals’ we will begin by looking at the human body and naming body parts then we will move on to look at wild animals and pets. Following this we will learn about what animals eat and group them into carnivores, herbivores or omnivores. Finally we will learn about different types of animals and group them into fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. In ‘Materials’ we will be exploring different types of materials and learn their names and purposes. We will explore waterproof and absorbent materials and investigate whether materials float or sink. Finally we will identify natural and man made objects. In Art we will be exploring colour learning about primary and secondary colours. After half term children will create their own space rockets.

Maths

Both Year 1 and Year 2 have been focussing on place value in Maths. Year 1 have been looking at place value within 10 and have used tens frames and counters to help them. Year 2 have been looking at place value within 100 and have been partitioning numbers in a variety of ways, using dienes and multi link to help them.

English

This week in English, we have been learning The Ning Nang Nong by Spike Milligan. We came up with actions for the poem and cut out verses of the poem and put them back together to help us remember the words. We are going to perform our poems next week!

Science

We started our Science topic - Animals including humans - this week. We discussed the different body parts that humans have and our five senses. We have also been looking at wild animals and pets and thinking about why some animals are suitable as pets and some are not.
