MATHS
During the spring term we will start by looking at 2D shapes and positional language before moving onto comparing numbers to 5. We will be combining 2 amounts and learning our number bonds to 10. We will then be moving on to look at measuring length and height and also capacity.
R.E.
Our topic in RE this half-term is ‘How Did Jesus Rescue People?’. We will be exploring stories from the Bible that show us how Jesus ‘saved’ those around him and helped those in need, including people who were hungry, ill or lonely.

PSHE
In PSHE we will be looking at the topic 'Dreams and Goals'. We will be discussing aspirations and how to achieve goals. We will be thinking about how to stay motivated when something Is challenging and how we might feel when we do achieve we have persevered at.
LITERACY
The book that we are exploring in literacy is ‘The Magic Paintbrush’. During this unit, we will be building on our knowledge of phase 2 and 3 sounds, drawing and painting to record our ideas and writing in role of the main character.
