Summer 2

This half term our focus area of the curriculum is Understanding the World (Science and Technology/Place and Time)

Our topic is... 

Life is an adventure

Throughout this topic, we will be exploring the following themes:

-Continents

-Countries

-Animals around the world

 

Our Christian value this half term is 'Self-control and patience' and our learning is embedded around this theme.

Please remember to check Tapestry regularly for photos, ideas and conversations starters about the children's learning. As always, please feel free to add any relevant learning to their journal - we love to see what they get up tot home!

Jigsaw PSHE  

This half term the whole school's jigsaw puzzle piece is 'Changing Me'. This is a great topic to enable the children to build on their Oracy skills and discuss their ideas with their peers. They will discuss the parts of their body, how they have changed since they were a baby and then we will also talk about their transition into year 1.

Below, please find some key information for this half term:

Drop off and pick up times:

Our gate opens at 8.45am for morning drop off, and closes at 8:55am, ready for registration. Children are to come through the gate independently, and place their belongings on the snack trolley and their boxes.  Our gate opens for pick up at 3.15pm, where you will be invited into our outside area in small groups and the children will be dismissed accordingly. Please note, if you have older siblings, please drop & pick up the youngest first.

Snack and drink:

Please ensure your child brings a healthy snack to school each day (fruit, vegetables, etc), as well as water in a refillable drinks bottle. (This must be water unless agreed with the class teacher, in line with school policy). A reminder that we are a NUT FREE school. 

Bookbags:

Please ensure children are bringing their bookbag into school each day, with their reading books and reading diary inside. No children in Reception or KS1, should be bringing in a rucksack. Please ensure no other items, especially toys, are not being brought into school. 

Reading books:

 Please ensure it is in their bookbag daily so that we can listen to them read in school. Their books will be changed on a Thursday.

Specialist Provision:

This half term, the children will have PE with Mrs Page and music with Mrs Heap on a Thursday.

Outdoor Learning:

Please ensure children have an outdoor coat and wellies in school at all times. These can be stored on the welly racks outside the classrooms. 

Thank you for your continued support, 

Mrs Paling
