In our class there are 6 Areas of Learning that we cover through a topic/project approach. These 6 Areas of Learning are:
P.E. is on Tuesday and Thursday.
Please come dressed for P.E. wearing white t-shirt, black shorts/plain joggers, trainers and red jumper/cardigan/hoodie.
Please can children have their hair tied back and jewellery removed.
Please practice reading at home every evening. Reading little and often will really help improve your accuracy, fluency and understanding. Bring your school reading book and record to school every day please and take home every night.
We will provide you with a healthy snack for breaktime - please bring a water bottle to keep hydrated throughout the day.
Thank you for ordering school dinners in advance, as this really saves valuable time in class.
Seesaw will be used to share some work with parents or messages from our class (alongside emails from school.)
MyHappyMind continues to be used as part of our Wellbeing Curriculum. You may with to login to myHappymind Parent App to support this.
Autumn Term 2025
Topic: Treasure Trails and Pirate Tales!
This term's topic is based around an exciting pirate theme!
Our work supports all AOLEs - here is an example of what we will be covering: treasure maps, famous pirates/ explorers, pirate stories, wanted posters, pirate role play/ drama/ freeze frames, voyages, pirate portraits/ collages, soundscapes of the sea (music), digital storytelling, magnetism/ materials.
In addition, we use EPIC (Everyone Planning in Class) to get pupils' ideas and incorporate them into our work.
Our on-going work in Literacy includes: phonics/ key words, hand-writing, grammar, punctuation, reading sessions, oracy activities - we will be focusing on fiction and non-fiction linked to a pirate theme.
Please encourage your child to use online learning programmes to help their learning journey such as Wordshark and Spellblast on their hwb account.
Numeracy continues to cover our 4 number operations, place value, doubling/ halving, Shape, Data and Measure and reasoning/ problem solving activities.
Please encourage your child to use Numbots/ Times Table Rockstars and Topmarks Hit the Button to support numeracy.
We look forward to working with you this year, and please do not hesitate to contact us with anything that concerns you this school year.
Kind Regards,
Miss Beynon and Mrs Manuel.
