AUTUMN TERM SUBJECT CONTENT 
This term we will be assessing the children’s knowledge of number. We will be counting forwards and backwards to 100. We will be practising writing and reading numbers and making jottings. We will be counting one more and one less than a number. We will also look at 2d and 3d shapes to name them and state how many sides, faces or corners they may have. 
This term we will assessing phonics and placing children into phonics groups according to the sounds they recognise. The children will then be given a book to read every day and they will learn their set 1, set 2 or set 3 sounds. They will be given a reading book for their level of reading and a library book to read at home. The children will practise writing on the line and practising their alphabet. 
This term we will be learning about materials and the human body. We will learn about labelling the body including head, shoulders, arms, legs and feet. We will learn about materials and their uses. We will learn what things are made of wood, metal, plastic, glass or paper. 
This term we are learning about Florence Nightingale. We will be studying her life and how she became a nurse. We will be making a timeline of her life as well as learning about the hospitals she worked in. We will be sketching her, making a hospital using materials and learning songs to remember her by. 
This term we will have a focus on self-esteem, friendships and learning to build their confidence. We will be learning about themselves and they will be learning to be kind to one another. 
This term we are very lucky to have a PE coach who will be teaching ball skills. We will be learning how to roll, catch and throw a tennis ball. We will learn how to follow instructions and work with a partner. SPRING TERM SUBJECT CONTENT This term we will be learning about number bonds to 10 and 20 and then how we can use this knowledge to count in number bonds to 100. We will be learning how to multiply and divide using jottings whilst also rehearsing our 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We will be learning about time durations and learning to tell the time. We will also look at heights and lengths and use non-standard units to measure these. This term all the children will be set into phonics groups according to their ability. We will be reading a range of texts within our groups and will be writing a range of different texts. We will become more confident at reading by sounding the letters out. We will hold a sentence and write the sentence or word down. We will be trying to use phonic knowledge to sound words out when writing and trying to use finger spaces and use conjunctions such as: and or because. This term we will be learning about our bodies as well as animals. We will be learning to name our body parts then relate them to the five senses. We will be classifying animals and be able to name what type of animals they are including: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. This term we will be studying the local area of Tividale. We will taking a walk into the local area and use a map to identify places around the school. We will be using google maps as well as simple maps to find key locations. We will be visiting Dudley zoo and taking a look at the castle. This term we will study the Chinese new year. We will learn the story of the race between the different animals. We will perform the story and show how the different characters were feeling. This term we will be practising games and gym. We are lucky to have a sports coach who will be taking the children for this lesson. SUMMER TERM SUBJECT CONTENT As we have gone over all the new areas for Maths this year, we will be going through some of the trickier areas once again this term. This includes: turns, position and direction, multiplication, division and 3d shapes. We are also practising counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. This term is the last Phonics term. We are working hard on our reading so we are ready for our end of year Phonics Test. There will be a focus on fluency and comprehension. We are also carrying on our fabulous Big Write lessons in which we get to find out all about the world around us. We have already explored the grounds around school to discover what Spring felt like, smelt and looked before writing all about it. We have also written stories, poetry, book reviews which we will continue to do during the last term. This term we will continue learning all about different types of animals. We are planning different experiments and investigations to find out how animals move, what they eat, how they are different from each other and much more! Our Summer Topic is also a Science based topic. Please read below for more information about what we will be doing in our Science topic. Our learning challenge question for this term is “What can we grow and sell in our environment?” and our final learning outcome will be to run a “green” Garden Centre for all our friends and family. In order to be able to do this, we will be learning about how plants grow and how to look after them. We will be creating different works of art and garden decorations around our theme. We will even be growing some of our own plants! All of our lovely products will go on sale at the Garden Centre. At the end of the term we will be going to visit the beautiful, fascinating and informative Botanical Gardens in Birmingham. We will be able to learn about plants from all around the world. We will also be attending a fabulous Tree Fun Lesson in which we will create our own piece of Tree Art. What a wonderful way to end the year! This term we will be discussing Holy books and places of worship. We will be learning about how Holy books teach us lessons for example how to treat others. During this term we will also have a focus on Buddhism and Hinduism which will allow the children to learn about a range of stories, artefacts, religious places and celebrations. This term we will be focusing on dance to show our emotions. We will be linking a few actions to perform a short sequence to a piece of music making sure we move at the correct time to the beat. We will also be working with the sports coaches to practise a range of skills to prepare us for our sports.
