Our topic this half term is:   

             Marvellous Machines

Our topic this term is called Marvellous Machines. The children will be learning about the technology they use in their everyday life. They will learn about how machines help us, how machines have changed over time and how their designs have changed. The children will program beebots to move and change direction. 

In PE the children will move like robots and continue the doodlesticks activities that make marks to music. We will continue to incoprorate the daily mile to our school day, highlighting the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

In phonics we will be reading lots of stories, rhymes and poems and joining in with action songs. We will be tuning into environmental and instrumental sounds. In Maths the children will learn about positional language, repeated patterns, more and less than and take part in lots of counting and number songs and games.

Home Learning:

MiniMash: Children are encouraged to explore MiniMash at home as well as in the classroom, trying out different activities linked to learning across the curriculum. 
 

Home Learning Project: We encourage children to complete a home learning project linked to their curriculum project being studied with some help from their grown up, if needed. Home learning projects provide a fun and creative opportunity for children to practise and apply new skills, as well as express their knowledge in a topic area.
