English
We will be continuing to focus on the skills based around grammar, nouns phases reading comprehension and extending the children’s writing. Our Grammar focus will be using connectives to extend sentences?
We will be talking
about the steps to success.
Steps to success
1. Read the sentence – which connective make sense?
2. Re-read the sentence with the connective put in – does it make sense?
3. Capital letters.
4. Full stops.
We will also be learning
about expanding noun phrases.
For example:Build a sentence physically round the room. Start off with a very simple subject-verb sentence
(e.g. The monster ran. Then identify the noun in the sentence and add an adjective on a mini whiteboard (The hairy monster ran.) then a complement phrase (The hairy monster ran out of the door.) From here, the children can make the sentence as elaborate as they like by adding clauses.
We will
be looking at compound words. Can the children find the two words that make a
compound word?
Maths
To rehearse the use of greater than and less than signs.
Review the signs.
Where does the
crocodile’s mouse open to.
Draw picture to remind the children.
This will be a new concept
so the children might take some time to work on this.

Topic
Every day
materialsDuring Spring term 1 the children in year 1 and 2 will be learning about ‘Everyday Materials’. This topic lends itself to a lot of work in science where children will learn about everyday materials including wood, plastic, metal, water and rock.
Children will learn to identify
and name everyday materials and will have the opportunity to explore the
properties of these materials. They will also carry out a simple investigation
to help them decide which material would be most suitable to use for an
umbrella.
At the end of the topic children apply their
knowledge of everyday materials to sort objects by their properties. A range of
learning activities are used in this unit including, discussions, labelling and
matching activities, games, and an investigation to encourage where children
have the opportunity to ask and find the answers to questions.
This week
the children will be learning how to identify what materials objects are made
from; how to test materials to see how they behave and choose words to describe
how they behave.
They will be introduced to new words such as: behave, test and record.
