Term 1 Learning
This term, we will be using non-fiction texts to learn about the continents and maps before focussing on North America. We will find out key facts and information and compare this with facts and information about England. The children will be using connectives to extend their talking and writing with a focus on 'and', 'but', 'because' and 'so'. This skill will also be worked on in their speech and language therapy sessions to secure their use of connectives. The children will also be learning about America in their base classes, using key vocabulary that has been practised and taught within English lessons in the SRP.
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 fractions where children will learn about halves, quarters and thirds. Later in the term, we will move onto learning about statistics and data.

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.
