Learning Journey 

This half term our learning journey questions are: 

Relationships: How will we care for our community? 

The children will look at what it means to be a community and how we can care for it. They will think about the communities they are part of and who they feel need support, particularly focusing on the elderly community. As a class, we will learn about the charity Age UK and will support the elderly community by visiting a care home to perform a few songs at a later date.  

 

Science

How does temperature affect the water cycle? 

The children will be learning about materials including water. We will start by learning about solids, liquids and gases, and how these states can change when they are heated or cooled. This will then link to learning about the water cycle. Finally, they will investigate how temperature affects the rate of evaporation and will link this back to their learning on the water cycle. 

 

Reading  

Reading at home with your child is a great way to further their development and encourage a love of reading. It is expected that the children read every day. Reading log sheets will be put into homework books with a list of suggested activities the children can do and share with the class. We read independently every morning, so children are more than welcome to bring their reading books into school.  

​

Maths  

In Sparrows, we will start the year by building on what the children learnt in Owls class. We will begin by looking at place value. We will be working on our number fluency as well as problem-solving and reasoning skills and will use a range of concrete resources to support our learning.
