Our Learning - Autumn Half Term One

 In English we will be reading 'Winter's Child' and re-telling stories through drama. We will write captions and punctuate sentences correctly. We will then read and write poems. 

In maths we will be working with numbers within 10. We will find one more and one less, count backwards and compare and order numbers. We will also learn how to use a number-line. 

In science we will be learning about the seasons. We will think about which months are in each season and what the weather is like at that time of year. 

Our geography topic is about the United Kingdom. We will look at the countries that make up the United Kingdom and what their capital cities are. We will learn our address and look at the differences between villages, towns and cities.

In computing we will develop mouse, keyboard control and basic computing skills using Purple Mash. We will also be using paint tools. 

In religion we will be thinking about our beliefs and communities. 

In PE we will concentrate on agility, balance and co-ordination. We will say how our feelings can affect our body and behaviour in PSHE.

We will be making sounds with our voices and instruments in music.
