Reminders

Please check Classdojo

Please do not put your child's drinks bottle in their bag as it sometimes leaks.

PE                                                              

Please ensure your child comes to school dressed in their PE kit every Monday. 

Children should be dressed in either the Scotts tracksuit or shorts and t-shirt, depending on the weather. 

Book Bags and Reading Books

Your child will receive a book weekly. Please look at the back page to see what your child should be working on. This will include a decoding session, a prosody session and a comprehension session. Please sign your child's reading record 5 times a week. 

Homework

Your child will be given homework every Friday. Please support your child in completing this homework to help them consolidate their phonics learning. Homework is due in the following Friday. However, your child can return their homework as soon as it is completed.

Uniform

Please can you ensure that you label your child’s clothing, this includes their shoes. All children should come to school with a green book bag.

Special Person

On a Friday, one child in class will be chosen as our special person. When it is your child’s turn, they will come home with a note to say they are the special person. Please collect five special things that are important to your child and discuss why they are special to them. It could be a teddy they have had since they were a baby, a certificate that they have been awarded or a photo of a family party. Once you have discussed them, please take a photograph and upload it to Class Dojo by the following Thursday, to enable the child to talk about why these items are special to them.

Termly curriculum overview

This week in Literacy we will be learning about Our Solar System. We will learn new interesting information about a planet each day and how non-fiction texts help us to learn new things.

We will think about what we would take if we were to go to visit a new planet in space and carry out simple experiments, commenting on what is happening.

Information for parents can be found on Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Please click on the link below.

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised

This week we will be reviewing the sounds we have learnt so far and will be applying them to read longer words.

In maths we will:

• • count things that cannot be seen – sounds. 

  • revisit rules for how to count.

  • count things that cannot be seen – actions.

  • discuss and practise strategies for counting larger sets by moving objects.

  • count things that cannot be seen – periods of time.

  • discuss and practise strategies for counting larger sets by moving images.

  • make or represent their own collections of larger amounts.

  • practise counting on from a given number.

  • discuss and practise strategies for counting larger amounts that cannot be moved.

• In PSHE we will learn to understand the terms fair and unfair and identify what is fair and unfair.
