Autumn 1 Week2

In English, we enjoyed listening to our story, The Tiger who came to Tea, and we practised writing in sentences using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. We have sequenced the story and have also started our Reading Comprehension work using the text.

In Maths, we worked on impressing our teachers with our addition and subtraction skills. We looked at the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction, and we used a variety of resources to help us with our calculations like number lines, number squares and our fingers!

In PE, the children started gymnastics indoors and ball skills outdoors. Indoors, the children are learning to develop sequences to include a jump, travelling and a roll. In ball skills, we are developing our hand-eye coordination.

In Project, we learnt about the life of Captain James Cook and his travels as a sea explorer. We discovered he went around the world four times on a ship. We investigated what life on board was like and in art, we tested our drawing skills by drawing an anchor.

In Science, we started our topic of Animals including humans and we discussed how to stay healthy if we were stranded on a desert island.

Autumn 1 Week 1

In English, we shared what everyone got up to over the summer holidays and wrote sentences about our experiences, making sure to use capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops.

In Maths, we explored place value by looking closely at two-digit numbers and identifying the tens and ones. For example, in the number 15, there is 1 ten and 5 ones.

In PE, the children enjoyed playing team games together as a whole cohort. They worked brilliantly as a team and had so much fun—we were really impressed!

In Project, we introduced our new topic Land Ahoy and discussed our Key Concept Question: Who are the sea explorers and what did they discover? This sparked a fantastic class discussion to kick off our learning journey.
