Autumn 2

Well, what a busy term we have had! 
Just look at all the learning that’s been going on! ……..

Our Topic ‘Cynefin’ 

We have been learning about human and physical features. We looked at a photograph of our area that was 123 years old! We were able to identify the human and physical properties and make comparisons between Penclawdd 123 years ago and today! We also used local maps to help us find OS symbols and created a key of our own .

Christianity, Christmas and Advent 

We learnt about Christianity and the meaning of the Advent wreath . Then we made our own Christingles to remind us about the Christian beliefs. 

Digital Skills

Science and Technology 

We have learnt about the properties of different materials and investigated some of these properties .

Maths and Numeracy

We have been learning about Place Value. We have been working with numbers and number lines . We have been looking at the properties of 2D and 3D shapes and have been making repeating patterns using these. We have started to explore addition and subtraction through money and have been having great fun practising these skills in our GG’s role play area. 

Literacy, Language and Communication 
We have been learning how to write a persuasive letter and a Recount text . We wrote a recount about our trip to the cinema to see Puss in Boots. We have also been busy practising our tricky words during our morning skills sessions.
