Summer 1
| English | Reading | Writing |
We will be using three different texts to drive our end of day reading sessions next half term.
| This half term we will continue to use Talk for Writing to support the children’s writing. For our fiction text, we will be using a story version of the animation Bubbles and learning this story to support our understanding of story creation. For our non-fiction text, we will be writing a recount of our trip to Corfe Castle. This half term we will continue to focus on writing sentences that start with a capital letter, using finger spaces between words and a full stop at the end of a sentence. We will be using 'and’ and ‘but’ to extend sentences. |
| Maths | This half term we will focus on:
|
| Science | We are continuing to look at materials and we will be experimenting with them. For example to test them for their waterproof capabilities. |
| RE | Is Shabbat important to Jewish children? We are learning to empathise with Jewish children by understanding what they do during Shabbat and why it is important to them. |

Indoor – Net and Wall Games Net and wall games are games where either a net separates the players or a wall is used. The object of these games is to hit the ball over the net and into the court space or against a wall to make it difficult for a partner to return. Examples include tennis, badminton, volleyball, squash. In this unit, pupils develop their understanding of attacking and defending principles in net games such as using a ready position to defend their court and placement of a ball into space. They use and develop skills such as throwing, catching, tracking and hitting a ball. They learn how to score points in these types of games and how to play to the rules. They work independently, with a partner and in a small group and begin to self-manage their own games, showing respect and kindness towards their teammates and opponents.
Outdoor – Team Building In this unit pupils develop their teamwork skills. They work individually, in pairs and in small groups, learning to take turns, work collaboratively and lead each other. They develop key skills of communication and problem solving. They are given the opportunity to discuss and plan their ideas and reflect on their success. |
