Key information:

The classroom doors will open at 8:30am and the children will be greeted, ready to enter at 8.35am. The school day finishes at 3.20pm. 

PE will take place on Tuesday afternoons. Children must bring a full PE kit: black shorts or joggers, a plain white t-shirt and trainers. Please note that PE will take place both inside and out, therefore appropriate clothing for all weathers will be required. If children do not have a kit, a phone call or message home will be made.

Forest school will take place after October half term. As always, children must have appropriate clothing, consisting of a warm, waterproof coat, a change of footwear e.g. wellies (to be kept in school) and long sleeves and trousers.

Earrings must be removed on both PE and swimming/forest school days. We are not permitted to remove these in school and ask that this is done at home if your child can not remove them independently.

Reading books will be collected on Mondays and returned on Tuesday. Please ensure your children bring in their reading folders on that day in order that books can be changed.

Reading is an important skill which enhances learning throughout the curriculum. Therefore, we ask that you listen to your child read 3–5 times a week at home. Reading certificates will be awarded to those completing 5 reads each week. 

In addition, we ask that you please encourage your children to access Numbots and Spelling Shed at home. These games provide them with opportunities to enhance their mathematical and spelling skills. If you have misplaced login details, please inform us and we will be happy to replace them. 

 

Curriculum Autumn 1:

In English, we will begin by exploring a poetry unit on the poem, Zebra Question by Shel Silverstein. This will be followed by looking at the story Troll Swap by Leigh Hodgkinson and writing our own stories based on this.

For maths, we begin by looking at place value, consolidating our knowledge of numbers to 100. This will then lead into some work on addition and subtraction later on in the term. 

In science, for the first term, we will be focusing on a range of different materials and their properties. 

Moving on to history, the children will be learning all about the fascinating topic of the Great Fire of London. This will help to inspire us for our PE topic which is a Great Fire of London dance!

In R.E., the children will be answering the question Who is Muslim and how do they live?

Miss Willis, Mrs Coley, Mrs Puttrell, Miss Ingle
