Welcome to Rabbits!
I hope you had a fun and restful half term! STEM week will take place over our first week back to school! We will base our learning around the book “Can I build another me?” The children will have lots of fun making time capsules about their height and appearance which they will open at the end of the year to see how much they have changed; we will bake beetroot brownies and see if we can change our minds about liking beetroot; we will make family trees and will make and build our very own robots! From the second week, we start our new and exciting topic, “Why Celebrate?”. In this topic, we will look at different celebrations such as Diwali, Guy Fawkes night and Christmas! The children will take part in an inspiration day with the year 2s where they will have fun trying a few activities to give them an insight into the celebrations they will be learning about during the topic. Seasons will be the area of focus for the children’s science lessons this half term. The children will learn about the four seasons and the changes that happen throughout the year. In English, we will be writing a set of instructions on how to build a bird feeder. The children will explore a range of instructional texts and will build up to writing their own instructional text over a few weeks of lessons. There will also be many reading opportunities for the children. We will have an afternoon a week focused on reading where the children will be able to read one to one to an adult as well as working in guided reading groups supported by an adult and engaging in various independent reading activities. A variety of books will also be read to the whole class daily. The children will also engage in whole class reading where the children will read a school reading book together as a class. Phonics will be taught every day and we will be following the phonics scheme, ‘Sounds Write’. Mathematics will primarily focus on addition and subtraction. The children will add and subtract numbers within 10 and will then move onto adding and subtracting numbers within 20. The children will use a range of mathematical resources to support them such as counters, cubes and Numicon. In RSHE the children will move onto health and wellbeing. They will look at how to keep themselves healthy through a variety of ways such as understanding their emotions, looking at a good sleep quality, relaxation, hygiene and keeping safe in the sun. PE will take place on Monday mornings and Thursday afternoons. Children will need to come to school in their P.E kit on a Monday and a Thursday. On a Thursday afternoon, the children will have a P.E lesson with one of our P.E coaches and will have an R.E lesson with Mrs Hart for the second part of the afternoon.
