Autumn 1

Land Ahoy!

Maths

We have started the term with revisiting and deepening our knowledge of place value. Following this, we will be progressing with our learning of addition and subtraction.

Writing

Our core text this half term is ‘The Pirate Cruncher’ by Johnny Duddle. We will be writing to entertain by writing character descriptions of the pirates and a pirate poem. These character descriptions will help us to write our own pirate adventure stories by the end of the half term! 

Science

We are learning about living things and their habitats. We shall be exploring the differences between things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive. We will identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of animals and plants.

History

We will be looking at the changes over time in an event of our own locality (Goose Fair).

Computing

We will begin by re-capping key skills from the Year 1 computing curriculum and then, we will explore coding and begin to understand what algorithms are.

RE & PSHE

In RE, we will explore Judaism and be able to answer questions about what Jewish people believe about God, creation, humanity and the natural world.

Through our PSHE curriculum, we will explore families and friendships.

DT & Music

We will be designers by developing our understanding of mechanisms and making a moving monster that shall crunch up the pirates!

We will be creating sounds to represent three contrasting landscapes: seaside, countryside and city.
