In Spring 1, we will be studying:                                                                                                     

• ENGLISH: We will be looking at instructions in writing. We will also be reading “ The Tiny Seed “ by Eric Hall to link with our science learning, as well as following instructions from recipe books to make some wonderful creations.                                                                                 

We will also continue to have daily Phonics and Reading sessions.

We are also listening to Roald Dahl’s “ The Witches “ every lunch time.

In all our written work, we will also be using Colourful Semantics to help us improve our sentence structure.

• MATHS: We will be starting the half term by looking at number and place value.  We will also focus our learning around Measure during the whole of the Spring Term.
• Make sure you go on Numbots and My Maths at home to do extra practice to help you.

• SCIENCE: We will be studying plants. We will learn to name and label parts of plants and recall how plants grow.
