They will start to develop their writing skills at the beginning of the year using the story ‘House Held Up By Trees’.
This is a beautiful story that will inspire them to write about their homes and the beauty of nature around them. The school environment and the changing seasons will inspire them to create poetry.
In maths this term, they will begin by developing their fundamental place value skills looking at numbers to 100 and counting in multiples. They will then move on to being master mathematicians looking at addition, subtraction and shapes.
The structures within our school and local area will provide them with ideas about how to make their own structures in Design and Technology. Through a variety of practical activities, children will be taught the knowledge and skills in designing and making, whilst exploring how to make structures secure and stable. They will generate, develop and communicate their ideas through talking and drawings.
In history, children will think like historians, travelling back through time, when they visit Mrs Smith’s Cottage in Navenby. They will explore historical artefacts and recreate life as it was in the past.
The children will learn how to become navigators, using maps to identify the human and physical features around them and explore what it means to live and work in the community of Waddington.
Becoming skilled horticulturists will be the focus of the science learning, as children cultivate plants in the classroom and the garden. Working scientifically by asking questions and making observations, they will learn the process of how plants grow and the conditions that they need to thrive.
