What are we learning about in Autumn 1?
In Maths, we are building on our knowledge of place value from KS1. We will be representing and partitioning, comparing and ordering, and finding 1, 10 and 100 more and less than numbers to 1,000. In Friday Maths we are learning about properties of shape.
In English, we are focusing on grammar and punctuation skills. We will be completing 'The Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar' to help us with our writing. Alongside this, we are exploring the text 'Stone Age Boy' linked to our new History topic. We will compare contrasting settings and characters and learn how to write in standard English using 'a' and 'an' correctly. We will learn the skills and layout features needed to create our final piece of writing - a non-chronological report.
In Science, we will be answering the question, 'What do rocks tell us about the earth?' We will learn about different types of rocks and how they are formed, how fossils are formed, and learn about the different properties of rocks. We will also work scientifically and use the skills we have learned to carry out an investigation.
In History, we will be learning about how life in Britain changed from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We will explore how people survived in the Stone Age, what changed for people during the Stone, Bronze and Iron ages and use historical sources, including artefacts, to understand how we know about life in this time.
In RE, we will be answering the question, "What do Christians learn from the creation story?" We will describe what Christians do and how they behave towards the world because they believe God is creator, and ask questions and suggest answers about why the story is important to Christians today.
In PSHE, we will be thinking about how we can be a good friend. We will learn about how to make positive friendships but also how to manage difficulties within friendships. Will use quality literature to support us to understand when others are feeling lonely and how to include them.
In Music, we will be learning to read music and use it to play an instrument.
In our Art days, we will be learning to create reality and depth in our drawings by observing closely. We will experiment with using a range of different lines to create tone and texture in our work.
In Spanish, we will be learning the different letter and sounds and introduced to some basic Spanish vocabulary.
