The Wider Curriculum

History:
We will be exploring old and new by looking at events in our past. We will be thinking about the experiences that we have had in life such as, being born, learning to walk, starting school and we will be ordering these to show our own chronology. We will be comparing old and new objects, cars, toys and discussing how we know that they are old and new. 

 

RE:
This half term we will be learning about Christianity and exploring what it means to be a Christian. We will be asking the question 'Why is belonging to God and the church family important to Christians?'

 

PE:

In PE we will be getting creative with our dancing skills. We will be learning to move our bodies to the beat of the music and develop our skills in movement and coordination.

 

Music:
We are focusing on pulse, dynamics, tempo and pitch by listening and singing a range of different songs. We will be showing great respect by using our listening ears to internalise the music we hear and work together as a class to vocalise songs.

 

Science:

This half term we are exploring all different kinds of materials. We will be sorting different objects into groups based on what they are made from. We will be learning what properties particular martials hold such as metal, plastic, fabric, glass and wood and investigate how we can best use materials for a particular  purpose.

Reading:

We will be reading the story Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers to practise our skills.

We will be exploring the school value of belonging through the heart warming story line and consider how we too can show this value in everyday school life.
