Class 1

Science

We will be looking at "Ourselves and  our Senses" with the help of George the Skeleton! We will explore the senses, paying special attention to sound and hearing. The girls wil be making, experimenting with, and describing sounds.  During the half term you will be able to help your daughters to make an instrument.

We will look at the changing  season and keep a diary of the weather and moon .

What were seaside holidays like in the past?

The girls will compare their holidays with those  taken over 100 years ago. They will learn to recognise some of the similarities and  differences.  We will look at photographs, books  and a video as well as looking on websites to  compare and contrast life now and in the past.

The children will have opportunities to use words associated with geographical features.

  Language and Numeracy

The girls will continue to develop their independent writing and be encouraged to write creatively. They will continue to develop their "sounds" knowledge through the grammar and spellings programme "Jolly Phonics",

Form 1 will continue to consolidate numbers 1-30, learning to order, subtract, add and double numbers. We will  learn how to understand and use vocabulary connected to number processes and solve a given problem by sorting, classifying and organising information.
