Autumn Term- What are we learning?

Our theme this term is Fairy Tales.

  • Writing- The children will discover a range of alternative fairy tales. They will be retelling the events of Jack and The Jellybean Stalk, and as authors, they will learn to use a range of exciting adjectives. The children will also learn how to write expressive poems, detailed instructions and to describe fairy-tale characters using the interesting vocabulary they have learnt. 
  • Maths– In maths, we will be exploring numbers to ten and how to add and subtract. The children will be able to use a range of manipulatives and resources to represent their learning. 
  • Trips/Visitors – The children will have the exciting chance to explore Hartsholme Park to develop their artistic skills and recreate the work of Andy Goldsworthy. They will also be able to bring their learning to life as they become expert historians and travel around Waddington, whilst making comparisons to the past.

This term, we will be reading, Jack and the Jelly Bean Stalk by Rachael Mortimer and Little Red by Lynn Roberts.
