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. PE will begin on Monday 29th September.

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, we will be reading the story Old Bear. We will learn and explore new vocabulary while discussing the story to build familiarity. We will explore how to write simple sentences using our phonic knowledge, and we will also discuss what is different about old and new teddy bears. We will also practise our scissor skills and learn how to join paper using split pins to make a moveable teddy bear.

• represent 4 in different ways on a die frame.
• use their fingers to represent 6 as ‘5 and a bit’
• use double dice frames to represent 6 as 5 and 1 more.
• match die representations of numbers 1–6 to representations on their fingers
• see that 5 and ‘2 more’ make 7.
• count out 6 blocks from a collection
• replace 1 block and know that there are still 6
• add another block to make 7.

• To know the importance of permission-seeking and giving in relationships with friends, peers and adults.

We will celebrate who is in our family and say why they are special.
