Science: Animals including Humans
Our Big Question 'Are they all called animals even if they are so different?’
As part of this topic, children will learn to identify and name a variety of common animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. They will also find out what carnivores, herbivores and omnivores are. Finally, they will learn how to compare and descrbe the structures and features of a range of common animals, including labelling parts of the human body. We will be finding out about two inspiring scientists, the zoologist Libby Hyman and the primatologist Jane Goodall.
Humanities: Changes Within Living Memory.
Our Big Question 'How has life changed?'
We will learn about the past, present and future and share memories from our lives. We will also make comparisons about old and new objects, asking questions about what they are used for. In Geography we will learn about human and physical features and use precise geographic terms to describe them accurately. We will also be looking at maps and learning some of the features of maps. We will also notice and record changes in the seasons as the term goes on.
Supporting Learning at Home
Homework
Homework is sent out every Friday and should be completed by the following Friday. Please remember that your role is to support the children - not do the work for them.
Homework is set online using Numbots and spelling shed. Log on each week to see your set activities. Passwords are stuck into your child's reading record.
If you need any help with the homework then please come and chat to me. I am always happy to go through it with you.
Reading
Children need to read at home every day with an adult. Your child will take home a decodeable book matched to their phonics levels. These will be changed every Friday to provide opportunities for your child to re-read the same text over several days. Please record a comment each day in the yellow reading journal and return it to school on Friday.
