Summer - 3-2 -Seahorses

PSHE

We will continue our PSHE learning from last half term about growing up and changing. We will also look at protected characteristics and explore topics such as domestic violence. In addition to this, we will learn about being safe by the water and what to do if someone is unsafe near water. Finally, we will complete our online safety topic which will support us to boost our self-esteem and allow us an opportunity to discuss personal image. Alongside this, we will continue to take part in Theratime and Mindfulness sessions each week. 

English

Our key text this half term is ‘The Wombles’ by Elisabeth Beresford. We will use this text to learn about various sentence types, and will have a key focus on grammar and spellings. We aim to understand and apply grammatical terminology. We will write our own stories which raise issues or dilemmas and resolve them. For our non-fiction text,  we will read ‘Caring for our World’ by Louise Spilsbury. We shall also revisit poetry this half term, reading a variety of poems which have the cinquain structure.

Maths

At the beginning of the half term, we will be learning about time. This will include key skills, such as, telling the time from analogue clocks, converting time from analogue to digital time, and telling the time in both 12 hour and 24 hour format. We will consolidate our learning on statistics and data, and will be plotting and analysing data in bar charts and graphs. We will be making comparisons between data, and finding the sum and difference between data sets. This half term, we will also build on our knowledge of shapes, covering rotations and angles, and enriching our mathematical vocabulary. Finally, we will learn about money and develop our knowledge of decimals and fractions to support our understanding of this. 

Science

In Science this half term, we will be learning about living things and their habitats. We will learn about endangered species and how we can reduce risks to them. We will also learn about conservation status and think about ways of protecting them. 

Geography 

Our Geography topic this half term is We Care.  We will begin by learning about sustainability and think about why it is important. We will learn about small changes that we can make to become more sustainable at school and at home. 

RE

This half term, we will be exploring what faiths and beliefs can be found in our country and community. We will discuss key events in religious calendars, such as Vaisakhi, Eid, and Mother’s Day, and explore how people may celebrate in lots of ways. As we explore a variety of religions, we will make links between them and think about how some faiths have similarities and aligned traditions.

Alongside all of this brilliant learning we will also be developing our skills through Art, Craft and Design, D.T, P.E, Food Technology, Music and Computing.
