What will we be learning? 

Literacy, Languages and Communication: 

During this term we will develop our literacy skills through daily reading and phonics sessions. We are developing our skills in segmenting and blending to read.

In Welsh we will be exploring new vocabulary based on the central question ‘Sut mae'r Tywydd Heddiw?". We will also learn Dillad (clothes) through this question. We will do lots of oracy games, reading Welsh literature and mark making. 

In Spanish we will be performing the pizza song! Muy Deliciosa. 

Mathematics and Numeracy:

We deliver maths through the Maths No Problem scheme where we explore all concepts through concrete, pictorial and then abstract. We are problem solving and learning: 

• addition skills
• learning 3D shapes
• money
• capacity
• collating data on pictograms and tally charts.

También podemos contar hasta 20 en español.

Inquiry-Based Learning 

We are Engineers:

This science and technology will have a biology focus on mini beasts following the general interests of the class. We will find out about habitats, the wonderful things mini beasts can do and will think of ways to support mini-beasts in our environment.

Food Literacy

We are also engaged in a long term food literacy inquiry. We are growing pumpkins and broccolis and are observing changes in our plants and problem solving when we notice problems with our crops.
