Year 1 Learning Narrative – Summer Term 2023

During the Summer Term we will jump back in time to find out about how toys have changed over the years. We will find out about how the Teddy got its name and create stories following the journey of our own mischievous toys. A highlight will be our visit to Worthing Museum on the train to see how toys how developed and changed over the years. We will work with numbers all the way up to 100 and move onto multiplication and division by making and sharing equal groups. After May half term we will start to look at our local environment and create leaflets about Littlehampton. We will have an exciting healthy eating week developing our DT skills and learning all about healthy foods.

At White Meadows Primary we use the Read Write Inc. phonics programme across both Key Stages up to Year 3. This phonics scheme provides a systematic approach to literacy, both reading and writing, which is fun and engaging. This is supplemented with the use of phonetically decodable books from Oxford Reading Tree and the Phonic Bug schemes, along with a range of other texts. Further details on how you can support your child can be found on the Read Write Inc. website.
In addition to the above programme, we also use the Big Write and Big Maths schemes and Little Big Maths in Foundation Stage.

Year 2 Learning Narrative – Summer Term 2023

Our return to school after the Easter break has brought the excitement of a brand-new topic, ‘The call of the circus, the fun of the fair.’ In English, we will be developing our creative writing, using our text of ‘Leon and the place between.’ Maths will see us using our understanding of number to help us with our learning of statistics, fractions, time, and measure. In our History learning, we will be finding out about the origins of the circus and travelling fairs. We will further develop our understanding of the world around us and will be learning how to use a map and a compass in Geography and our computing lessons we will be learning how to create a coding string to programme a character to move. Our PE lessons will be focusing on the skills we need for our sports day and swimming gala later in the term which will be closely linked to the understanding we will be developing through our Science topic of ‘Forces.’
