This half term our topic is Dinosaur Detectives!
During this half term, children will be learning all about dinosaurs. We will be so knowledgeable about all the different types there are! We will be writing stories, reading Harry and the Dinosaurs stories and writing fact files about dinosaurs. Our maths will be learning place value to 20 and addition and subtraction to 20.
We will identify and name a variety of common British animals that are birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and invertebrates and know if they are carnivores, herbivores or omnivores.
In addition, we will be using a keyboard to word process,
learning about Mary Anning and fossils.
We will be developing our gymnastics and ball skills, observing changes in the environment and much more! Please see the curriculum newsletter for more detail.
We are going on a trip to All Things Wild on February 4th and we will be entering a team to a gymnastic competition (further details to follow).
If you would like to come and help in the classroom, hear readers or do library sessions, please come and speak to us, we would love to see you!

There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
Learning Target Ladders
Mrs History came and visited us as part of our work on toys in history. We made our own peg dolly's, learnt many new facts and played with old toys. We had great fun!
