| Subject | Profile - Journeys | Ideas for home |
| English | In our writing sessions we will be learning to write a poem about a journey. Alongside gaining some inspiration whilst on our own journeys during our weekly trips, we will also look for ideas during our visits to the library. We will be listening to, reading and looking at poems, stories and non fictional books as part of our research.
We will continue with our 1:1 reading sessions throughout the week and learning/practising new sounds during our daily phonics lessons (except Thursday).
| On your journey to school/home what do you see/notice? Can you tell us when you get to school or tell your family when you get home. Write a list of keywords.
Watch a film involving a journey, this could include Up, Jumanji, Peter Pan, Nemo, Brave, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and many more. Can you take some inspiration from these to create a poem about a journey?
Read your Rhino book at home – which member of the family will you read to (don’t forget to include the animals, they love listening to stories!).

| Maths | We will be following the White Rose Maths scheme. The topics will include ‘To 20 and beyond’, ‘Mass and capacity’, ‘Money’ and ‘Multiplication and division’. Each lesson pupils will complete a carousel of activities to support their learning in these areas. We will be applying the skills we have learnt, to everyday life by singing songs and solving problems. | I will inform you which topic your child is covering. Select the correct topic and complete the activities:
To 20 and beyond – where can you spot the numerals 0-20? How many baked beans have you got on your plate? How many will you have if you eat one?
Mass and Capacity – pick up tow objects; which one is heavier? At mealtimes, compare whos cup can hold the most liquid.
Multiplication and division – play some multiplication and division games on Topmarks. Which ones will you choose?
Money – can you identify some of the coins in your piggy bank? Would you like to go to a car boot? Or a funfair? Can you find the correct money to pay?

Citizenship
| This half term we will be finding out what people do for leisure and what leisure activities there are in the local area (we will link this with our Wednesday trips out in the community). We will discuss the benefits of using different leisure facilities. We will carry out some surveys in school and in the community to support this. | What leisure facilities do you have near your home? What activities do you take part in when not at school? Can you try some new leisure activities? How did these make you feel? |
| Science | We will be looking at the lifecycle of a human. What did we look like as a baby? We will learn how we have changed. How will we change in the future? We will learn to name the different stages of the human lifecycle. We will be carrying out some surveys in school; What can we do at different stages in our lifecycle and does feet size change with age? What will we find out? | Can you find a photo of when you were a baby, a toddler and a small child. How did you change are you got older? What do you think will change as you get older compared to now. Discuss this with an older member of your family – how did they change? Look at some photos of them throughout their lifetime. |

Pupils will learn how to add images and information and present them clearly and attractively. | Can you give a presentation at home? What will it be on? When you watch adverts on the TV, think of them of a presentation – what do you see/hear, what do they tell you? Can they give you some ideas for your own presentation? |
