We have P.E. outside on Mondays and inside on Thursdays. Please make sure your child comes dressed appropriately for both. For homework, please help your child practise their spellings each week for a check-up on Friday. Please listen to your child practise their high frequency words and their reading and return books to school on a Friday.

Term 1
In our first term this year, we will be working on sentence writing and using the ‘Talk for Writing’ programme, using the Three Little Pigs, to learn about writing fiction. In numeracy, we will be working on number, place value, addition, and subtraction. Our topic for this term will be ‘My Home and Homes Around the World’. In health and wellbeing, we will be learning about emotions and practising our ball skills in P.E.
Term 2
This term, in literacy, we will be continuing to use the ‘Talk for Writing’ programme, this time, by imitating, innovating and creating their own ‘finding tale’ using The Love Monster. We will be working on handwriting, sentence writing, and reading aloud throughout the term and as well as summarising and sequencing in other reading tasks. In numeracy, we will be introducing multiplication and division, while continuing to work on place value, addition and subtraction. In health and wellbeing, we will be using the PATHs programme to learn more about our emotions and will also be starting gymnastics in P.E. Our topic this term will be Animals and their Habitats, linked to the book ‘The Long Journey Home’.
