Year F Timings
Spring First Half Term
This half term our topic will be exploring wild and wonderful weather! As we are in the thick of Winter we will be learning about ice and its features. We will explore the processes of melting and freezing. We will also be learning about climates in different countries and finding out about animals that live in the arctic and extremely cold temperatures.
Every Thursday afternoon will be 'outdoor learning' the children will have the opportunity to explore our school grounds and take part in various outdoor learning activities.
Every Friday afternoon will be 'Challenge Time' which is when children are encouraged to have a go at a range of independent learning activities which all link to the weeks learning. They can collect lolly sticks for each challenge and these link to our behaviour chart. It is a great chance for us to see if there are gaps in learning which need to be revisited.
In Math's this term we will be working on the knowledge of numbers to 10, learning about the composition of numbers and identifying patterns in the number system. We will be exploring mass, capacity and beginning to learn the features of 3D shapes.
We will be continuing with 'Drawing Club' a fun and exciting way to get children writing and using new vocabulary.
As always we will be reading lots of high quality stories and using stories to inspire our learning in different ways.
Please see attached a copy of our Spring Term Overview for more details about the learning outcomes for this half term.
