Our Autumn 1 Journey
Over Autumn 1, our learning journey was linked to the text 'The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark' by Jill Tomlinson.
We were lucky enough to have a visit from a wide range of Plop’s owl friends at the beginning of the topic – to link to our text ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark’. We met four different owl species and the owl experts gave us lots of information about their lives.
In English, we explored the text and focused on:
- The reading skills of: prediction, vocabulary, retrieval and inference
- Use of Adjectives
- Expanded Noun Phrases
- Use of Conjunctions
- Punctuation basics - capital letters, full stops, commas for lists, question marks.
- We finished this unit by writing a character description of the character Plop.
In Geography, we linked our learning to the text and focused on:
- Map of The UK - the countries, capital cities and oceans surrounding
- Human and Physical geography of our local area
In Art, we linked our learning to the text and developed our drawing and painting skills to create woodland art.
In Science, we linked our learning to the text and learnt all about Animals including Humans.
In Music, we linked our learning to the text and focused on music to represent shadows and darkness.
In Maths (which was a stand alone subject) we focused on:
- Place Value of numbers to 100
- Addition and subtraction within 100
In RE (which was a stand alone subject) we focused on:
- I wonder who is a Muslim?
