The information within this leaflet will help you to help your child.
The Curriculum Map shows the main areas of learning that your child will undertake during the forthcoming term.
The Class Timetable will enable you to talk to your child about their school day!!
This is what
we will be
teaching
through our
creative
curriculum
The creative curriculum for this term will focus on Stone Age to Iron Age. Children will study the impact
healthy eating has, particularly on their teeth.
This topic will include: literacy, numeracy, science, geography and computing.

The science aspect of the topic will focus on the properties of materials (stone, bronze, iron
etc)

The literacy aspect of the topic will focus on writing a diary entry / recount, discussing
opinions and listening to those of other children, new vocabulary, making notes from videos,
using a dictionary and glossaries

The numeracy aspect of the topic will focus on ordering dates of events in chronological order

Through our
RE lessons this
½ term the
children will
cover the
following. Do
try and attend
your child’s
class Mass
The ICT aspect of the topic will focus on using interactive whiteboard resources, videos and websites to
answer questions based on Stone Age to Iron Age
The RE curriculum this term will focus on prayer, Advent and Christmas.

Children will think about the importance of prayer and why we say them when we do, considering
the regular prayers we know as well as others we can learn (Children have made a ‘pray as you go’
book in Autumn 1).

In Advent children will learn about the stories of the Annunciation and Visitation.

They will develop their understanding of Advent as a time to prepare for Christmas and
reflection on Christ being in the world.
There will also be class masses on a Wednesday morning and regular Family masses, on a
Sunday, to which all are welcome.
Literacy
These are the
main
objectives
that will be
taught during
this ½ term
Myths and Legends
Read a range of myths, legends, fables and
traditional tales, identify and discuss common
themes, for example good over evil, wise over
foolish, etc. Sequence the key events using lists,
maps and storyboards and describe the key
characters with reference to the text. Demonstrate
how the sequence of events can be varied. Using a
familiar story theme, children plan and write own
stories in style of myth/legend/fable, etc.
Reports
Children can find a key word using an index and then
locate the relevant information on a page.
Children demonstrate that they have understood
information read from a book or screen by noting the
main points. Children can use clear language and
presentational features observed on a broadcast to
make their own oral presentation interesting.
Children can recognise the structure and language
features of a nonchronological report. Children note
information collected from reading more than one
source and present it in the form of a nonchronological report.
Numeracy
Number, place value and rounding

Children count forwards and backwards in
steps of constant size. They find missing
numbers in a sequence by calculating the
difference between adjacent numbers. They
explore the patterns of the digits in
sequences to work out what comes next.
Addition and subtraction

They use known number facts to help them when
adding and subtracting one-digit numbers to or from
two-digit numbers.

Children recall all addition and subtraction
facts for each number to 20 and use these to
derive sums and differences of multiples of
10.
Multiplication and division

They consolidate their understanding of
multiplication and division as repeated addition
and subtraction, and use grouping for division.
They appreciate that multiplication and
division are linked, and that one array can be
described by two division sentences and two
multiplication sentences.
