Spring 1

Christmas- This unit is designed to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of Christmas as a celebration of the birth of Jesus. The unit also develops the children’s understanding of the importance of the birth of Jesus through the events that happened before and after, and the impact it had on the people involved.

Jesus our teacher- This unit is designed to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the person of Jesus and his ministry as a teacher and healer. The unit will also develop their understanding of what Jesus’ ministry reveals to us about God, how the Church continues that ministry today in various ways and how Christians are called to follow the example of Jesus in their lives.

Maths

In maths, children focus on addition and subtraction, developing an understanding of additive structures by combining groups, finding totals and exploring how numbers can be increased or decreased. They practise counting forwards and backwards, including counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, to support fluency, number patterns and early problem-solving skills.

Writing

In our English lessons, we will read different texts and then write simple sentences about them. Each sentence will begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.
