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 ‘Beth sy’n bod?’ We will engage in role play as doctors inspired by the text Y Meddyg.

In Spanish we will be investigating the story La Oruga Muy Hambirenta. Es muy bien.

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: 

• pattern
• number bonds up to 10 
• measuring using non-standard units 
• beginning to measure with a ruler 
• number formation
• addition and subtraction 
• 2D and 3D shape

También podemos contar hasta 20 en español.

Inquiry-Based Learning 

'We are Imagineers' 

This inquiry has an Expressive Arts focus. We will be exploring how our environment influences our imagination to create new products. We will learn new artistic techniques, explore local nature spaces and take inspiration from the world around us in our artistic pursuits. We hope to invite our families in for an art showcase at the end of term.
