This term our unit of inquiry is ‘Identities change and develop over time and reflect evolving values’. We will be following different lines of inquiry to help us discover:
- How have the toys we value changed over time?
- How do we collect evidence?
- How do our possessions reflect our identity?
n English our core texts for this term are ‘Lost in the Toy Museum’ by David Lucas and ‘Toys in Space’ by Mini Grey. We will be asking questions and predicting what will happen in each story by looking at the front cover and reading the blurb. After receiving a letter from Bunting himself, we will plan and write our own letter in response to this. Later on in the term, we will learn how to plan and write a newspaper report. We will use role-play to practise reporting on events that have happened in the story. After reading Toys in Space, we will create story maps to help us retell the story.
In maths this term, we will learn about the place value of numbers and will continue to develop our understanding of addition and subtraction. We will practice counting forwards and backwards, reading and writing numbers and identifying one more and one less. Understanding the place value of numbers will allow us to make clear representations of numbers using objects or pictorial representations. We will read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (-) and equals (=) signs. With this knowledge, the children will learn to represent and use number bonds, add and subtract one digit numbers and solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction.
In PE this term, we will be developing the children’s skills of basic movements including running and jumping, throwing and catching. We will begin to apply these in a range of activities.
