Class webpage

Here on our class page you will our Curriculum map which shows what we will be learning about throughout the year, as well as a section about each half term. Our page will be regularly updated each half term with information and photographs to show you the exciting things we have been learning about.

 

Reading

Reading will link to Read Write Inc. Home reading books can be accessed online from the Oxford Owl website (see information handed out for login details.)

Once your child can confidently read the book they have been practising in class, they will bring a slip home to inform you which book they should be reading at home from the website.

Children will also bring home a ‘book to share’ each week, which they will choose from our class library. This book is not for the children to read, but to enjoy listening to and sharing with an adult. This should be returned to school each Monday.

 

 

P.E

 

Our P.E sessions will be on Mondays and Thursdays. One session each week will be taught by a specialist coach.

Please ensure children have their P.E kit in for all P.E sessions and warm clothes for colder days.

Please provide a note / speak to school if your child is unable to do P.E, otherwise children will be expected to join in.

Please cover earrings on the morning of P.E days with plasters if your child is unable to remove earrings for lessons.
