Term 5 - 1st Summer 2024

Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Easter break.

Welcome to your class page.  Here you can find out about all the things we will be doing and the links below will be updated weekly to share with family and friends.  This year will be full of smiles, friendships and success - we will be a great team together!

This term using the theme I Wonder Where? we will develop an understanding of places around the world. The children will have a sense about where we are in the world, begin to understand that there are seven Continents and some of the similarities and differences of various environments, encouraging a desire to explore.  Please discuss with them any travels you have had and share photos and memories.  We will notice some differences and similarities between life in this country and life in other countries, drawing on knowledge from experience, stories, non-fiction texts and maps.  We will discuss different ways to travel and use junk modelling to create our own ways of travelling.  Through Jigsaw we will consider relationships and how to maintain them.  We will listen to stories from different faiths and consider what can be learnt from a story.  

Wednesday mornings are when we have hall time and we will be building our PE skills.  Please ensure everything is named!

There will be opportunities for Show and Tell and I will send a message home as we will encourage a theme, so the children really need to think about what they want to share.  Sounds Write is when we will be learning phonemes to help us read.  Reading books, starting without words, will be sent home on House days after the first couple of weeks/when the child is ready.  Each child will have a GoRead login which is how we can record the children’s achievements.  Our focus will be on reading fluently, so reading the same book every day for a week will allow the children to achieve this.

St Andrews – Mondays

St David – Tuesdays

St George – Wednesdays

St Patrick – Thursdays

Remember to use your DoodleMaths login so the children can enhance and extend their learning in a rewarding and engaging way.  Five minutes a day will empower the children and build their confidence.  There will be time in school to learn how to use the app.

If you have any questions or queries feel free to use the contact the class teacher section on this page and we will get back to you within 48 hours.  Thank you for reading to the end!
