Meerkats (R/1)
A warm welcome to Meerkats class page
Myself, Mrs Burley and Miss Pegrum will be sharing the roles of teaching in this term and any questions or queries you have can be directed at any of us.
Please remember to send your child in each day with a named water bottle, their reading book and diary, any spare clothes they may need and a coat.
Reception Topic
The topic in reception for this term is 'All about me'. The children will have opportunities to talk about their families and friends, what their home is like and their special items from home. We will look at the local environment, visit the orchard and discuss their feelings around starting school.
Year 1 Topic
Our topic this term is ‘The Arctic'. This is primarily a geography-based topic where children will learn about the Arctic environment and weather. There will also be elements of the science curriculum looking at the flora and fauna to be found there. The children will research explorers who have visited the Arctic and what discoveries they made, which will allow them to cover some of the history curriculum.
Homework for year 1 children will be sent home on a Friday. It is extremely important that the children try their best to complete the work independently. The work will be related to the English or maths that they are currently learning in class. It needs to be returned to school by the following Wednesday.
