Reading Books
Each child will be given 2 books to take home. The first is a phonetically decodable book from our reading scheme. This book matches the phonics phase that your child is secure with. Your child should be able to read this to you with minimal segmenting and blending. Please encourage your child to read this on a daily basis to develop fluency for reading.
The second book is from our school library. This book is for you to read to your child and is intended to develop a love for books and reading.
Please make sure reading book bags are in school every Monday for changing.
P.E.
P.E. will take place on a Tuesday and Thursday. Please send your child to school in their P.E. kits on these days. They will wear their P.E. kits all day.
History - The Great Fire of London
1666 was one of the most devastating years in London’s history. We will be going back to the era of the Stuarts as we find out about the Great Fire of London and the effect it had on the people of the time. We will find out when, where, how and why the Great Fire happened and explore how we know about it through the diary of Samuel Pepys and other sources.
Science - Living Things and their Habitats
Exploring first the difference between living and non-living things, the class will then find out about habitats in familiar local areas, such as woodlands or ponds, before looking further afield from sea sides to the Sahara. They will also explore micro-habitats.
