We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday, and New Year, and a well-deserved rest. We are looking forward to our new term and our exciting new topic!

This half-term, our new topic will be ‘Journeys out of this world’. We will enjoy exploring fictional and non- fictional journeys around and out of our world. We will be focusing on Baby Bear’s journey to the moon in the story ‘Whatever Next’ and will also learn about famous journeys to the moon from the past made by real astronauts.

We will be getting creative with lots of different art and craft activities, such as making and designing moon buggies, creating collages of space by printing stars and making moon rubbings with rocks and wax.

In Literacy, we will be listening to and looking at a range of stories and texts based around our topic. We will be continuing to practise our letter formations, and will begin to write short captions and sentences using our phonic knowledge. We will be also be learning lots of new sounds in our Phonics lessons to help with our reading and writing.

In Maths, we will be playing lots of counting games and exploring numbers up to 10 in detail. We will continue to learn number bonds to 5 and 10 and will practise writing these as number sentences. We will learn the names of some 2D shapes and will use these to create our own shape pictures too!
