Hazel Class wrote their own rocket instructions just in case you want to make one too!  

Topic- How it works!

Literacy: Daily Phonics, weekly handwriting and reading sessions.

The children will learn through a mixture of writing and reading genres including fiction, poetry and non-fiction. We will be starting off by reading or watching 'Whatever Next!' by Jill Murphy, and 'The Way Back Home' by Oliver Jeffers.  We will be focusing on sequencing stories and using story language in our writing.  We will act our stories and find out about the different characters and what they might be thinking or feeling.  We will be learning about how space rockets work and writing information booklets or poems about planets.  We will also look at other vehicles and find out how to follow and write instructions for paper planes, and Lego creations.   We will be focusing on sentence structure, punctuation and grammar whilst learning through creative and engaging literacy activities. 

Maths: During this Autumn term we'll be looking at;

• Number - place value, accurate counting and recording.
• Number - adding and subtracting
• Shape - properties of shapes 2D and 3D
• Using the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least
