Term 1

Welcome to Jeffers Class!

Jeffers class have settled in really well and we're excited about the term ahead. We'll be writing a narrative inspired by 'Stardust' by Jeanne Williams and a non fiction text about big cats. We'll be learning about what all animals need to survive and what human bodies need to be strong and healthy, working like scientists to sort and classify and suggest answers to questions.Our learning about bodies will link to our DT project: designing and making healthy kebabs. We'll also be investigating what schools were like in the past. We will be doing lots of reading this term! As a whole class we will be reading Traction Man and we will be reading in groups 4x a week, there'll also be daily opportunities to read for pleasure in our reading corner. 

PE

This term we will still have PE on Mondays (cricket)  and Wednesdays (send and return skills). Both of these sessions will normally be outside. Please ensure children come in correct PE uniform on these days: 

• Plain black / navy shorts, plain white t-shirt or white t-shirt with school logo
• Trainers for outdoor PE
• Plain black / navy joggers and a plain black / navy sweatshirt or ‘hoodie’ or a normal blue school jumper.

  Please do not wear different colours or clothes with other logos. 

Have a look at the curriculum map for Term 6 and knowledge organisers attached for more detailed information about our learning and to help you talk about this learning together. As always, come and speak to me at the door if you have any questions or comments, I'm always happy to chat. 

I will set home learning on Fridays to be submitted via Google Classroom on Wednesdays. You can upload pictures of work, send a short comment or bring in paper work to show me.  Home learning is a way for adults at home to be actively involved with the children's learning. I  hope the tasks  encourage fun learning together and rich conversations to deepen learning and engagement.

I am always happy to have a chat at the door or to arrange a time when needed, please don't hesitate to talk to me at drop off or pick up.
