Children attend the ARP from Key Stage One (years 1 and 2). Therefore the ARP curriculum incorporates both topics from across these year groups as well as incorporating skills from EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), where appropriate.

Welcome to the ARP

Hazel Class

Spring 2

This half term we will begin by exploring the book Funnybones by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. We will create and describe our own skeleton characters. We will also read the traditional story The Enormous Turnip and use it to plan and write our own stories. We will then be working on following, giving and writing instructions and the fantastic book How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth by Michelle Robinson will be our starting point for this.

In phonics we will start working on Phase 4. We will blend and segment          words (for reading and spelling) with adjacent consonants such as from or went.

In maths we will be counting to 50 and reading and writing the numbers. We will count in twos, fives and tens. We will be exploring measurement by measuring and comparing length, height, mass and capacity.

We will have lots of fun this half term playing maths, phonics and reading games too!

At home please keep counting to 50 and back again to practice saying the number names in order and remember to use Bug Club to support our learning in phonics.
