This term we are focusing on 'Protecting our Marine Environments' based on the large amount of interest in conservation, the ocean, and it's creatures within.

In this topic we will be learning about;

- Sea Creatures
- Plastic Pollution
_ Visiting the Rocky Shore
- Creating Art pieces about the ocean/pollution
- Learning about the sand dunes
- Big questions e.g. why is the sea salty
- Writing about issues to do with ocean conservation

Using our developing stop-animation passion to learn how to use the green screen and build layered imovies.

Create a film plan.
Choose characters.
Build the stop animation.
Import to imovie
Add sound and publish

Students will work three x a week with myself and with follow up mathsbuddy activities to develop skills that will include;

Number Strategies AO1:
Use simple additive strategies with whole numbers and fractions.
Number Knowledge AO1:
Know forward and backward counting sequences with whole numbers to at least 1000.
Number Strategies AO1:
Use a range of additive and simple multiplicative strategies with whole numbers and fractions
Number Knowledge AO1:
Know basic multiplication and division facts.

We will focus on one text three times week. I will read to the children and model decoding and comprehension strategies. We will read together out loud and discuss the text. Finally, students will end the week with independent reading, where they apply the strategies they have learned over the week.

We will focus on one texts three x a week. The LA will read with the children and support the modeling of decoding and comprehension strategies.
Students also use independent reading skills, where they apply the strategies they have learned over the week.
Guided reading sessions could will use the Sharp Reading strategy to read aloud together and individually share comprehension and then one of four follow up thoughts,
visualization, links to prior learning, links to text, predictions.

Through these strategies, students will use level 3 skills to:

Whole class teaching.
We are learning to 1: Order and compare, describe using measuring language
2: Measure by counting non standard units

Magenta through to yellow

We begin counting forward and back to 10, then to 20, then to 100. Within our range that we are learning we learn the number before and after. We learn facts to 5 such as 1+4, 0+5, 2+3, 3+2 etc. We need instant recall of these facts/number bonds. We then move to learning facts with 5 eg 5+2, 5+4 and then facts to 10 eg 7+3, 6+4.
Learning then moves to doubles 3+3 firstly to ten and then to 20. We learn to use our doubles in relation to 1/2s and subtraction eg 6-3.

At NE level we are learning that the picture in the book relates to the text, the difference between letters and words, and how we can use the picture and the beginning and end sound of the word to help us decipher the text. We point to each word as we read them. This helps us to recognise different words. We learn about the different parts of the book eg front cover, title page back cover, author and illustrator. We slowly start learning some high frequency words (HFW) such as I, is, to, the, am, and etc. Sometimes we write them on a white board in reading.
