Term 2 Learning
This term, we will be exploring poetry and fictional stories. At the start of the term, the children will use bonfire night and fireworks to inspire them in writing their own poems. We will share some poems and discuss our opinions before writing acrostics, descriptive poetry and shape poems. The children will also have an opportunity to create some artwork to go alongside their poems. Later in the term, we will use the book 'Troll Swap' by Leigh Hodgkinson to explore writing a fictional story. The children will think about character descriptions, writing extended sentences and sequencing events before writing their own version of the original story.
In our Maths, we will continue to use the White Rose scheme of learning to guide or journey and progress. The term will begin with a focus on positional language to describe objects and movement. Children will use words such as 'left', 'right', 'clockwise' and 'anticlockwise' to describe movement and turns. Later in the term, we will move onto our next unit on place value. Children will begin to recognise, make and partition numbers with hundreds, tens and ones.

Home Learning
Please continue to read with your child each day at home. You can use the Language Through Colour prompts and questions to support your child when answering questions about the story.
Your child may also have spellings provided by their teachers to practise at home. Quick recall of these, using them in sentences and in writing will all support your child to secure their knowledge of these words.
Practising number facts such as number bonds to 20 and the 2, 5 and 10 times tables will support your child in retaining key knowledge. The links below will provide some activities to support this.
Please also explore our SRP page with further information about the interventions that your child may be involved in.
