Autumn 1
English
In our English, we focused on the book ‘Supertato’ to create descriptive pieces of writing to describe our very own Supertato hero that we created. We also explored the book ‘Charlie’s Superhero Underpants’ where we used our story writing skills to retell the story.
Maths
As mathematicians, we have thoroughly explored numbers to 10 and compared them using excellent vocabulary such as ‘greater than’, ‘less than’ and ‘equal to’. We then began our topic of addition and subtraction by focusing on number bonds and fact families.
Science
Science this half term has been all about the parts of the body As scientists, we discussed different parts of the body, including parts outside the body, like our hands, and inside the body, like our brain. We then conducted an experiment all about our five senses, where we got to taste some yummy foods
Art
As artists, we have been drawing self portraits inspired by Vincent Van Gogh. We used sketching pencils to explore different types of lines to create our masterpieces.
PE
In PE, we have focused on the fundamental skills of throwing and catching and how we can incorporate these skills into competitive games like bench ball.
Music
As musicians, we have been inspired by superhero music and how musicians use tempo and pitch to create tension in their songs.
Geography
We have been exploring our local area in geography – discovering what features we have and need around us, including shops, dentists and a doctors.
