Mathematical Understanding
In mathematical development we will focus on several key mathematical
facts including place value, mental calculation strategies, measuring, securing
number facts and solving word problems. The teaching of maths continues to
be delivered in a designated hourly slot each day, but many of the skills and
concepts learned will be utilised in other theme based work to give them a
real life context. We will focus on learning times tables over this term.

the Sun, explore the Earth’s movement to give
seasons, day & night and investigate shadows &
sundials. We will discuss safety in the Sun and

Every Child Matters…
Every Lesson Counts.
We believe that every child in our school has the right to be heard. We believe in Pupil
Voice and encourage it throughout the school.
Pupils have the opportunity to take part in a wide selection of after
school activities and clubs around the garrison. Pupils’ voice is
heard through the School Council. We are also developing a
‘Curriculum Task Group’ where pupils will be asked to comment on
their learning. In most lessons pupils are asked to offer opinions
and feelings towards tasks and activities.
This term pupils will have the opportunity to take part in a
variety of sporting activities including ball control skills,
gymnastics and athletics. They will take part in an Athletic
competition at the Garrison Sports ground. Children are
encouraged to bring in healthy meals for snack times.
Pupils are encouraged to achieve well in all areas of the
curriculum and all teachers have high expectations as to pupils’
achievements. Many of our lessons are ‘hands on’ or
‘investigative’ style lessons. We endeavour to link all learning
to real life or relevant situations. Our themed curriculum has
been tailored to encourage pupils to find out more about the
world around them in an exciting and stimulating way.
Pupils know the importance of staying safe around the school.
They are shown how to move safely on the play equipment and
climbing wall. They know when it is safe to run and walk and
how to behave in areas such as the sand pit and around the
pond. Pupils know the importance of taking risks and learning
how to experiment in safe situations. They are encouraged to
try new things or new ways of doing something without feeling
threatened.
