Term 2: History of Schools

We are very excited about our new topic… ‘History of Schools' We will be taking a step back in time and looking at how schools have changed over time. We will even have some special guests talking about what The Oaks was like when it first opened. 

In English we are going to be focusing on:

We will continue to send home spellings each week on Tapestry for you to practise at home. Please ensure you work with your child on these spellings as it will support them with both their reading and writing.

In Maths we are going to be focusing on addition and subtraction; specifically, comparing number sentences, bonds to 100, 10 more and 10 less, add and subtract tens, adding a 2 digit and a 1 digit number, subtracting a 2 digit from a 2 digit number and adding three single digit numbers.

In Science we are continuing to learning about 'Living Things and Their Habitats' We will be learning how animals obtain food from other animals and plants. We will also be finding out about food chains. Jacques Cousteau will be a scientist that we will learn about.

In PSHE we will be continuing 'Relationships'. We will be discussing online relationships and online reputation. We will then focus on appropriate and inappropriate touch, hurtful teasing and bulling and what to do if this is happening. 

During PE we will being doing:

'Yoga' where the children will develop their balance, flexibility, strength and co-ordination.

'Ball Skills'. The children will develop their fundamental ball skills such as throwing, catching, rolling, hitting a target, dribbling with both hands and feet and kicking. They will look to perform these skills with increasing control and accuracy using co-ordination and balance. The children will have the opportunity to work independently, in pairs and small groups. 

We are very excited about Term 2!
