Hello Owls and Owl parents,
Hello Owls and Owl parents,
Welcome back for your final exciting and busy term at Stilton.
This half term, our topic is “Stories from the Past.” The children will explore a range of traditional tales and well-known stories, through a range of fun and engaged opportunties, developing their language, imagination and understanding of the world around them.
Our classroom role-play area has been transformed into a fairy tale cottage, providing a rich and stimulating environment for imaginative play. A variety of props, costumes and story resources will encourage the children to retell familiar tales, act out characters and create their own storylines, helping to develop their communication, language and social skills.
In Phonics, we will be consolidating our learning of the phonemes taught throughout the year, including a range of digraphs. The children will continue to practise blending and segmenting sounds for reading and spelling, as well as building and reading words independently. We will also focus on reading words containing two- and three-letter consonant blends and will continue to build confidence when reading both real and nonsense words.
In Mathematics, we will deepen our understanding of number and numerical patterns. The children will explore odd and even numbers, doubles and number bonds to and within ten. We will revisit teen numbers, developing an understanding that they are composed of one ten and some more ones. The children will also become increasingly familiar with using part-whole models and ten frames to represent and explain their mathematical thinking.
In Art, the children will explore how pictures can be used to tell stories and communicate ideas. They will experiment with a range of media and techniques, including drawing with chalk and charcoal, painting, colour mixing using primary and secondary colours, and creating collages inspired by the stories we study.
In RE, we will be learning about how we can respect and care for our world. The children will discuss ways in which people show care and responsibility for the environment and will explore how individuals from different faiths and beliefs demonstrate these values in their everyday lives.
Thank you very much,
Mrs Gadsdon and the Owl team
