Class 1: Useful Information
Homework
Homework will go out on a Friday, to be completed and returned to school by the following Friday. Expect lots of stickers, smiley faces and house-points for completing your homework!
Maths
Maths is fun! We will be following the Teaching for Mastery approach, which I believe helps all children to make progress. By the end of this year the children need to be confident with their number facts within 10 and also counting in 10s, 2s and 5s, so please help your little one by practising at home as much as you can!
Writing
We will be using a mixture of The Write Stuff and Talk for Writing to help progress our writing. We use the FANTASTICs to help us write and we love creating actions when talking through a text! This helps us use some amazing vocabulary! We have some exciting writing topics in store to inspire our budding authors!
Reading
We will be continuing with some individual reading with an adult this term. It would be great if you could also listen or read to your child at home every day too.
Phonics & Spellings
Phonics will be taught daily. We link our spellings with our phonic sounds for the week. Spellings will be sent home and will be tested every Friday morning. Try to practise as many times as you can.
Forest School
We will be wandering down to the woods on a Wednesday afternoon, so please send your child in with forest school kit. Plenty of layers, waterproofs and wellies will be needed!
PE
Please ensure that PE kits are in school for sporting activities with Crossbar on a Tuesday.
