In Communication, Language and Literacy, we have been engaging in our story ‘The Dot’  and have been exploring mixing primary colours to make secondary colours. Using a famous painting by Kandinsky we made our own paintings. We wrote sentences using nouns, verbs and adjectives to describe our art work. We have been developing our writing skills, writing words, or a simple sentence to writing a range of sentences using ‘and’ to join our sentences. As well as remembering to use capital letters and full stops.

In Mathematics we have been increasing our knowledge relating to ‘Numbers’ and ‘Shape Space and Measure. Learning to double and halve numbers.  To help us with our learning we learnt some double facts to 20 and used concrete resources such as cubes and counters to double and divide.  

In Shape Space and Measure pupils have been using scales to weigh objects and learn about ‘heavy’, ‘light’, and ‘balance’. We have been challenging our learning by making predictions of heavy and light objects.

In PSHE we have been learning about keeping safe in the community.  We have looked at possible dangers in the environment and how to cross the road safely, using the Green Cross Code. As well as this we have been learning about people who help us and what jobs they do.

In Understanding the World we have been learning about operating a simple computer programme and typing using a keyboard - logging ‘on’ and ‘off’ safely. Adding images and text boxes.  Recapping our learning on Online safety by revisiting who we can share our personal information to.  Knowing what is safe and not safe to share online. For example our home address is not safe to share. Sharing a drawing made on the computer is ok to share with people we know.

In Expressive Arts and Design we have been using musical instruments  learning  to play tuned and untuned instruments. Focussing on harmony, rhythm and pitch. Pupils have had the opportunity to experiment with a range of musical instruments to create,select  and combine sounds.

In Physical Development our focus this term has been Disco.  We have been lucky to have our dance lessons taught to us by a dance teacher who comes to see us every week.  We love these sessions.

In RE we have been learning about Sikhism.  Pupils have been exploring the different artefacts, learning the names in Punjabi of different rituals that may happen in the Gurdwara. For example, eating together in a Gurdwara is called a ‘langar’.
