Literacy This term the children will be
developing their knowledge on non-chronological
reports. They will have to gather information
about night time animals using information books,
fact sheets and the internet and then create
their own report on their finding. Also the
children will be developing their story writing
skills by planning their own adventure story in
outer space.
Numeracy Developing childrens ability to
understand place value and number sequences will
be our main focus this term. As part of this, we
will be counting forwards and backwards from any
one or two digit number along with counting in
twos, fives and tens. We will also be developing
our mental methods so that the children can
recall addition and subtraction facts to 10 and
20 quickly.
Space what is out there?
Religious Education Beginnings will be our first
topic this term. As part of this, we will
consider the many beginnings each day offers and
how God is present in every beginning, such as
the beginning of the world in the creation story.
In our Collective Worship, children will be
choosing and leading their own sessions.
Art / DT In art and design the children will
learn how to make hand puppets and will design
their own scary alien. The children will develop
techniques in printing and use their skills to
create a solar system.
History This term the children will develop their
knowledge of famous people who went into space.
We will discuss their significance through
understanding why we still remember them
today. Geography Children will develop their
mapping skills this term and create a map of
space and their own imaginary planet. By
learning about features of our planet, children
will be able to compare living on earth to living
on space.
Physical Education For PE this term the children
will be developing their skills gymnastics. They
will learn different ways of balancing and
travelling which will help them create their own
sequence. In addition to this, children will work
on developing team building skills.
Science This term we will be looking closely at
forces. Discussing gravity and also the different
forces used to move objects, e.g., rockets. We
will also learn about different light sources,

lessons, we will be looking at New Beginnings. As
