P2c Term Overview

Welcome to P2C’s term overview.

This term new learning and leaching will continue through Seesaw. One numeracy, literacy and learning across the curriculum task will be uploaded daily for learners to complete at a time that is suitable for your family. However, we will also use this time to consolidate prior learning which has been covered in school.

I hope you find the following term overview useful, and the activities on Seesaw purposeful and engaging. As ever, please do not hesitate to get in contact if I can be of any assistance.

Literacy

This term we will be continuing with our ‘Literacy Rich’ programme to consolidate taught sounds as well as learn and use new sounds in different contexts. This will include reading, writing and word building activities. In addition, we will continue the learning of common words to be able to recognise and spell these.

In Reading, we will be engaging with a variety of online fiction and non-fiction texts to allow learners to practise and apply their skills in understanding, analysing, and evaluating texts, as well as developing the ability to find and use information.

Writing tasks will be mostly be related to our class topics and will include pieces of fiction and non-fiction writing. We will have practise in identifying features that these pieces types of text have to be able to include these in our own writing.

In addition, Sumdog and Education city will support learning in literacy.

Numeracy and Maths:

This term we will focus on counting forwards and backwards within 100 and beyond and describing numbers within 100.

We will continue to practise ordering and sequencing numbers and we will work on our quick recall of number bonds and doubles and halves. Different strategies will be introduced to support addition and subtraction and we will continue to practise sharing, describing and building arrays and counting in 2s, 3s, 4s 5s and 10s to support our understanding of multiplication and division.

In Maths, we will continue to develop our understanding of money through coin recognition and change. Following this we will focus on shape and symmetry. We will describe and create symmetrical patterns and learn the properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects.

In addition, we will use digital learning to enhance our understanding of Numeracy and Maths concepts through our Sumdog and Education City apps.

IDL Topic

We will engage with science through focusing on The Water Cycle and Food Chains. I hope that you are interested in these topics and that, in turn, your interests will lead this learning. These topics will involve children presenting their learning in a variety of ways and will include practical activities as well as providing opportunities to support writing, reading, and talking and listening.

Health and Wellbeing

Remember to use the allocated 1 hour each day to get outside for some exercise and fresh air! P.E. activities will be shared by Mrs Campbell each week.  You may also use some of the online resources that are available i.e. Joe Wicks, Cosmic Kids Yoga, 5aday fitness etc.

Weekly ‘check ins’ will also be introduced to ensure that learners’ emotional wellbeing is being supported throughout this time.

I am really enjoying seeing photos and videos of learning on Seesaw and hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Miss Mowat
