Overview
This half term our topic is ‘Things with Wings’. We will be learning all about lots of different minibeasts!
We have a very exciting term as we will be welcoming chick eggs into our classroom and will have the opportunity to watch them hatch and grow! We are also lucky enough to have the experience of having caterpillars in the classroom, where we can watch them grow into butterflies and learn all about life cycles.
We will be reading lots of new stories including ‘Superworm’, we will also be exploring some interesting non-ficton texts to help our learning such as ‘Things with wings’ and talking about the facts that we find.
In maths, we will be focussing on a range of things including counting, doubling and halving, odds and even numbers and money.
