Hello everyone!
Please see the useful class information below.
Class Teacher: Mrs Butler
Learning support assistants: Mrs Marshall
Additional teacher: A cover teacher will be in class every Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays this year.
PE day: Tuesdays- please come wearing uniform and bring a PE kit in a labelled bag- dark leggings, shorts or jogging bottoms, white t shirt and trainers. If pupils do not have spare trainers then come in wearing them every Tuesday. The PE kit will be sent home every half term to be washed.
Topic: Throughout the year we will do 3 different topics within the Science & Technology, Expressive Arts and Humanities areas of learning. In addition, we will do 3 wellbeing topics - You are what you eat, Making choices and What is happiness? to learn about keeping our bodies and minds healthy. A parent topic overview will be emailed out to you before each topic to inform you of what the pupils will be learning about.
Literacy: Throughout the year we will be doing Read Write Inc phonics, letter formations, writing our own names, shared writing tasks, learning key words, handwriting, guided reading skills and writing 3 sentences including the word because in a range of contexts.
Maths: Throughout the year we will be focusing on number recognition, number formation, counting forwards and backwards, more/ less, simple addition and subtraction, 2d and 3d shape, measures, handling data andwewill apply them across our topic work. We will share SEESAW log in details where we will share lots of things that pupils have been learning each week. In addition we will share log in details for Purple mash and Sumdog maths for pupils to access at home in addition to in school.
Please remember the following:-
We are a healthy school, so we ask for daily bottles with water and a healthy snack. Please could these be labelled with your child’s name. PLEASE cut grapes into quarters and no nuts for snack.
Bring reading bags every Thursday and support pupils reading every day going over their reading books and key words with you at home. This really helps pupils consolidate their daily reading activities at school.
Please label all clothing and belongings including ALL jumpers and cardigans. with pupil names to avoid loss or mix ups.
We highly value our school/parent relationships, we are always here to help if you have any queries or concerns. Remember a problem shared is often a problem solved.
We are enjoying working with you this year.
