What we are learning in the Summer term...
At the moment we are in an unprecedented period of education, as much as possible we are going to follow the curriculum that we would have been studying in school using google classroom.
In Literacy, we are going to be giving 5 tasks a week, these will consist of phonics to revise the sounds that we have already taught the children, reading comprehension to develop their ability to look at a text to find information, grammar activities and two other writing related activities. All the tasks will aim to develop key skills that children need in year 1 literacy.
In Numeracy, we will be revising the content that we have already covered and reinforcing key skills such as adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, number bonds and measure. There will be reasoning challenges which are designed to be talked through to allow children to learn how to apply their skills.
In Science, we are going to be learning about plants, we will be able to name some common plants, identify the anatomy of a plant, and learn what they need to grow.
In History, we are going to be learning about Castles, starting with the first castles brought over by William the Conqueror and then moving onto the sections of a castle and how they changed over time.
In RE, we are going to be learning about the religion of Islam, focusing on the daily lives of Muslims and the fundamental beliefs they hold.
For PE lessons we will be setting challenges designed to keep you active at home but we would also love to hear about all the different activities you are doing.
In Art, we are focusing on portraits and trying to give you a range of tasks that do not require a lot of resources. If you are having any problems please just let us know.
If you are ever having any problems with your learning or have any questions please email us and we will do our best to help you.
