Autumn 1

History detectives

In history this half term we will be looking at significant people from our past, such as Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. We will be comparing aspects of our lives to peoples lives in their time.

We're visiting Portland Basin to find out how Victorian schools were different to ours. See Arbor to confirm your child is joining us!

Homework & Reminders

Spellings

These will be given out on Monday for the children to learn at home to be tested in school the following Friday. The spellings for the entire term are at the front of your child's reading diary.

Learning Logs

Learning Logs are given out on Fridays and are to be handed in the following Wednesday.  It is a creative way for the children to present their learning from what they have done in class or research about the next topic.

Reading

Ideally, children should read a wide range of books/texts whenever possible.  Even 5 minutes a day can make a difference!  New reading books are given out on Fridays and need to be brought in everyday.  Most of the books the children which the children bring home are one they have been practising during our daily Read Write Inc phonic sessions, plus one which is similar and focuses on the same theme.  Reading diaries need to be signed at least 3 times a week to show you have read with your child.

P.E.

P.E. kits need to be brought in every Monday and the children will return home wearing their kits on a Monday after their PE lesson with Coach Jake.

Parents and carers, thank you for all your support with all this.

To help at home - Parents and Carers, please click on the links to support your child to practise their phonics at home. Their reading book will guide you to which colour to pick.
