What we are learning about this half term...
Autumn 2025
English
This half term, we have started our learning with Poetry. We have been looking at the poem 'There's no such thing as monsters'. We have read the poem, created text maps to help us remember it and we have begun to write our own version of the poem by including repetition and rhymes. Stay tuned for photos of our own versions of this poem....
Maths
In maths we are learning about place value. As part of the unit we have been counting on number lines and using equipment such as cube, counters and animals to help identify numbers which are less than, greater than and equal to.
PSHE
We have been learning about 'Being me in my world'. During this topic we have been discussing different scenarios which could happen in and outside of the classroom and the different rewards and consequences we could get.
Art
In art, we have been learning about our primary colours and secondary colours. We have learnt about tints and shades by adding white and black to a colour. We have also created our own art work using warm and cool colours based on the artist Kandinsky.
