Here is an overview of our learning this half term.

Maths Units - Number and Place Value, Measurement: Length and Mass, Addition and Subtraction & Geometry: 2D & 3D Shape  
Science - We will be learning about our body parts, identifying and naming them. We will then explore the senses they are each connected to and investigate the 5 senses.
PE - Orienteering (Reading and understanding symbols on a basic map). Catching and bouncing a ball.
RE - We will be exploring Christian Stories about Creation, as well as considering why our planet/world is a special place to many.
PRSHE - Me and My Relationships. We will share who is special to us, how they look after us and how we can care for others. We will also explore the importance of speaking to others about our feelings. We will also recap our school rules and learn to apply these within our new classroom environments and routines!
Music - Keeping the Pulse: My Favourite Things. We will explore and practise pulse and rhythms within music we hear and sounds we create.

The following subjects continue over Autumn 1 and Autumn 2:

History - What is history? We will learn about what history is, placing significant life events on a timeline and talking about the past and present.
Geography - What is it like here? We will explore our school grounds, creating and exploring maps before then making our own suggestions for how areas could be improved.
Art - Drawing: We are going to explore and share our opinions on the work of LS Lowry. We will then investigate techniques and effects used by the artist and apply these within our own artwork.
DT - Sliders and Levers: We will investigate different slider and lever mechanisms, practise creating our own and then apply those skills to create our own greetings cards.

Week 2

What a busy week! We are really enjoying the text Rumplestiltskin in English and we have been involved in lots of short writing opportunities about this. This week in PE we have continued to practise the skill of bouncing a ball. Our skills are developing wonderfully. In Maths, we have used Base 10 apparatus and Place value counters to represent two-digit numbers. We really enjoyed playing a game called 'Exchange Up'. We rolled a die and collected that number of ones. Once we had ten or more ones, we exchanged ten ones for one ten rod. The winner was the first to fifty. This week we have also enjoyed exploring sketching pencils in Art. 

Week 1

We have all settled beautifully into Pine Class. This week we have enjoyed getting to know each other and have completed a range of fun activities to help us do this. We have made 'All About Us' rainbows, played a board game called 'All About Me' and we went on a nature treasure hunt outside to enjoy spending time together.
