Geometry – Position and Direction

• order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
• use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement, including movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three-quarter turns (clockwise and anti-clockwise).

Statistics

KS1 Opportunities for cross curricular learning:

Science

• identify and name a variety of common animals that are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores
• develop scientific skills such as classifying and making charts and tables.

English

Use of Monstats Fact Files to support the development of composition and write sentences by:

• saying out loud what they are going to write about
• composing a sentence orally before writing it
• sequencing sentences to form short narratives
• re-reading what they have written to check that it makes sense
• discuss what they have written with the teacher or other pupils
• read aloud their writing clearly enough to be heard by their peers and the teacher.
