| We will be working on our shape and space skills; in particular position and direction. and solving problems in this area. This will also support our learning in our computing lessons when we will be using Beebots and other controllable devices. Each lesson pupils will complete a carousel of practical activities to support their learning in these areas. | What games can you play at home that involve postion and direction? You may play a game of Simon Says or Follow the Leader with your family or you may want to play an interactive game on your tablet. |

We will discuss the consequences of not getting this balance correct. | What exercise activities do you do outside of school? Can you try to follow the recommendation of 60 mins of exercise a day? What will you do to get your heart rate up? When eating your meals at home discuss which foods give you the most energy. Have you got enough of these? Too much? |

| What devices do you have at home? How do you control them? What do you do? Do you have a remote control car, a drone or play an electronic game? How do you control these? Can you tell us about it at school? If possible please send/bring some photos in of you with the device to support this. |
| Music / Art | We will be exploring sound colours. This will include learning how to identify mood in landscapes and music, and how this can help us to manage our own emotions. We will be learning to match landscapes and activities with different genres of music. We will consider how colours, different landscapes, different landscapes and activites make us feel. | When you are at home look at the different scenes and colours you can see. How does this make you feel? What kind of music would match your mood in this situation? Can you do the same when you’re out and about? |
| PE | We are going to be continuing to improve our athletics skills (running, jumping and throwing). We will be using lots of diferent equipment to support with this including batons for our relay races, javelins, shot puts and discus. | When you’re out in the garden or at the park can you practise your running skills. Perhaps you can find a natural baton and use this in a relay race. Can you make an obstacle course in the garden to practise your jumping skills and practice throwing a ball or some boules, aiming for a target. |

When out in the garden can you see any shadows caused by the Sun? How do the change throughout the day? |
| Understanding the World -Community Safety | This half term we will be looking at different methods of travel to reach our destination. We will look at the different safety considerations with each one so we can stay safe using our chosen method. We will also experience walking, biking, using a train and a bus so we can put all our knowledge into practice and give us a greater understanding of how to use these different methods of transport. | What different methods of travel do you use at the weekend? Do you use specific methods for specific journeys? Can you consider the safety considerations for each method of transport you use? |
| Understanding the World - Accessing and Living in the Wider World | Our focus for this half term will be learning about ‘Safety First’.

Which ones help to keep you safe? When you are out and about what actions do you take to keep you safe? |
