| Subject | Profile - Families | Ideas for home |
| English | We will be learning to write a poem on Families. In our reading lessons we will be gaining inspiration and ideas during our visits to the library. We will be listening to, reading and looking at poems, stories and non fictional books as part of our research. We will also read a book/watch a film about families and look at the characters and copare situations in the book, with our own.
We will continue with our 1:1 reading sessions throughout the week and learning/practising new sounds during our daily phonics lessons (except Thursday).
| Can you find a photo of someone in your family and bring it into school? What words will you use to describe them?
Play a game at home – do an impression of a family member, of say words that describe what they look like and how they behave. Can you guess who they are?
Read your Rhino book at home – which member of the family will you read to (don’t forget to include the animals, they love listening to stories!).

| Maths | We will be following the White Rose Maths scheme. The topics will include ‘Building 9 and 10’, ‘Exploring 3-D shapes’, and ‘Place value to 50’ and ‘Time’. Each lesson pupils will complete a carousel of activities to support their learning in these areas. We will be applying the skills we have learny, to everyday life by singing songs and solving problems. | I will inform you which topic your child is covering. Select the correct topic and complete the activities:
Place value to 50 – where can you see the numerals 0 – 50? Look around when you are out and about. Ask your family members their ages – do they fit in this range of numbers? Time - Plus keep an eyen what time you do certain things, e.g. have dinner, get home, leave the house for school. Can you make your own timetable for the weekend, with timings?
Building 9 and 10 – when you are out and about look for the numerals 0 -10. Can you count 0 – 10 items, e.g. plates on the table, chips on your plate, cars parked on the road? Can you write these numbers down? When you play a game with a dice to practice subitising.
Can you spot any 3D shapes in the home. How many can you find?

| PSHE and
Citizenship
| This half term we will be looking at Crime and punishment, and the Justice system. We will be finding out what is a crime, why young people might comit a crime and what happens if they do? A local policeman will be visiting class to help us learn more about this. Alongside crime in the real world we will be finding out about crime online. We will set up a mock trial listening to evidence and decide whether the accused is guilty and what punishment they should receive!
| Make posters alerting people to the dangers online. Research where to get help – even if for them this might be as simple as telling their family or a teacher. Create some guidelines about how to be safe online and who to tell, and how to tell them if they are concerned. Can you pick up any top tips from older members of your family around online safety? |
| Music | We will be learning to identify the pulse in different pieces of music and understand what is meant by pulse or steady beat. We will also be kearning how different tempos evoke different emotions, and how different pieces of music make us feel. | When you listen to music at home see if you can find the pulse. Will you clap, stomp your feet or move your whole body? Do other members of your family want to join in? Can you identify the different moods in the sounds you listen to? How do the they make you feel? |
| PE | This half term we will be focusing on our athletics skills; running, jumping and throwing. We will be measuring our performance, and comparing this with others. We will be looking at how we can improve our scores each time, and then reflecting on these. | Can you build an obstacle course in the garden to practise these skills? Can you run around the edge of the garden? Hop along the stepping stones? Can you throw the ball for your dog (or someone else in your family)? |
| PfAL
(Preparing for Adult Life)
| We will be using the ASDAN Transition programme to support our learning in this area. We will be focusing on four specific areas; Employment (work experience, trips, etc)
Independent living (cooking, laundry, chores, money management), Being as healthy as possible (hygiene, PSHE, RSE), and being part of the community (trips, voluntary work etc). This half term’s focus will be ‘Making Choices’.
During our trips we will be making some healthy choices when shopping and visiting play areas. We will also be looking at our mental health by visiting places that support our wellbeing.
| Please let me know how you got on with any similar activities to these at home, so we can celebrate your successes with the class. This could be communicated via a note in the diary or email any photos to Miss S-B. |
| Art day | We are going to spend the day learning about Andy Wahol and gaining inspiration from his bright and colourful work to create our own personalised pop art. | When looking at photos of your family at home, imagine Andy Wahol used it to transform into a piece of art. What colours would he use for each feature? Can you create your own Andy Wahol inspired artwork at home, based on someone in the family? If so, please bring it in to show us! |

We will have fun learning some different words for the different colours in German through songs and games. We hope to try a German biscuit, as a reward for our hard work! | At home, can you make a link with Germany? Consider doing your own research. Explore where you might want to go on holiday in Germany. How would you get there? What would you do when you were there? Research some famous cities such as Munich, Frankfurt & Dusseldorf. What would you eat – look up some traditional foods? |

Geography
Led by Nikki W
| We will be studying contrasting areas of the British Isles, with a focus on urban and rural. We will be taking a closer look at London, locating it on maps and looking at how to describe the buildings and key features found in this city. We will then look at some rural areas and note some of the differences, including the buildings, sights & sounds.
We will finish this topic with a day trip to a local town (Sheringham) and a rural area (Felbrigg) so that we can experience some of these features for ourselves..
| When at home consider doing your own research about a city found in the UK. Does the city have a mix of old & modern buildings? Which do you prefer? Name 1 building that you would like to visit and explain why.
