Welcome
Welcome to our class page! Miss Cavill and Mrs Robertson are looking forward to seeing all the children and we cannot wait to hear all about your summer holidays!
Our Learning
We are really looking forward to getting stuck into our learning this term.
During the school day, we read independently and as a class. Reading at home is also encouraged and should be recorded in the children’s reading records. Our author for Autumn Term is Oliver Jeffers. We will spend the end of each day winding down to our class books.
In English, we will be focusing on transcription. We will be looking at ‘You Choose’ and ‘Can I Build Another Me?’ We will continue to develop our understanding of phonics following the Little Wandle scheme, as well as focusing on spellings.
In Maths, we will be working on Place Value. This includes finding 1 more than, 1 less than, addition and subtraction.
In addition to this, we are looking forward to covering a broad range of curriculum areas over the term. This includes: Animals including Humans in Science, The Great Fire of London in History and The Weather in Geography. The children will also explore different faiths in their Religious Education studies and our main focus this term is Islam. During our Art lessons, we are focusing on the artist Claude Monet. The children will research all about him, look at his famous paintings and create a piece of art inspired by him
