What We’ve Been Learning This Term

In Maths, we have been exploring addition and subtraction through lots of practical and hands-on activities. The children have been using objects, pictures, and number lines to help them understand how numbers can be combined and taken away. We’ve also been practising recognising, writing, and ordering numbers, helping everyone build confidence with early number skills.

In English, we’ve been learning how to write simple sentences using capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops. The children have enjoyed practising these skills through fun writing tasks linked to our class books, Not a Stick and Not a Box by Antoinette Portis.

These stories have inspired lots of creative thinking about how imagination can transform everyday objects into something magical!

Our History topic this term has been Toys: Old and New. The children have loved comparing toys from the past with the ones they play with today. They have been learning about how toys have changed over time and thinking about what materials were used to make them.

In RE, we’ve been learning about what Christians believe. The children have talked about important Christian values such as kindness, love, and forgiveness, and have explored some of the stories that help Christians understand their faith

In PE, we’ve been developing our movement and coordination skills through fairy tale-themed activities and invasion games. The children have been practising teamwork, balance, and agility while having lots of fun moving like characters from their favourite stories.

Children are empowered to express themselves and exlore movement in a safe environment! 

In Art, we’ve been exploring shape and line. The children have experimented with different materials and techniques to create pictures that focus on how shapes and lines can be used to make patterns, outlines, and designs.
