| Communication and Literacy | In our English lessons we continue to be read the book ‘Old Hat’. We will be using our ‘Talk 4 Writing’ scheme to explore the text through immersion, imitation and innovation. Now that we know the story, pupils will learn a five sentence story, rehearse this story using a total communication approach and complete literacy activities and games around the text. We will then begin to innovate this text by changing aspects of the story such as the character, names and objects. We will continue with our weekly Library sessions where we can read for pleasure and enjoyment while working on our reading skills. We will also complete 1:1 Reading each week. | Read your book from the Library at home with your family before bringing it back to school. Can you visit a Library in your local area too? Please bring your Twinkl reading book and Library book in each week to be changed. |
| Mathematics and Problem Solving | In our Maths lessons, we continue our learning on place value and working on counting amounts and numbers accurately. We will be focusing on recognising numbers as words, recognising numbers in our environment and counting objects around us. We will then learn about one more, one less and equal to before comparing amounts. Towards the end of the term we will do some fun Christmas Maths activities, puzzles and problem solving activities. In Computing we will start the term off with a lesson on e-safety and how to remain safe online. We will then focus on Photography and how to take pictures safely, recognising the need for consent and appropriateness. We will also edit photos and hold a photography competition! | Can you count different objects around your house? Can you compare them? Which has more, less or are they the same? You can use the symbols for greater than > less than < and equal to = to help you. Can you use devices you have at home to practise your photography skills? Remember to ask permission and consent before taking a device or photo. |

We will then move on to a topic on friendship, specifically talking about how to be a good friend. Pupils will discuss what they want in a friend and how they themselves can be a good friend. | Please feel free to communicate freely if there are any elements of PSHE that we can support your child with in school and at home which aims to ensure knowledge, skills and understanding to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. |
