Meerkats (R/1)
A warm welcome to Meerkats class page
Myself, Miss Jones and Mrs Burley will be sharing the roles of teaching in both classrooms 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 'Where our wellies take us'. The children will imagine visiting all kinds of environments, including a farm, river. We will look for dinosaurs and go to space. The spring term allows for lots of discussion related to growth and new life. The children will learn the correct names for baby animals, and we will plant flowers and observe them growing.
Year 1 Topic
Our topic this term is ‘Granny's attic’. This is a history based topic and allows us to cover most of the History curriculum objectives . In the first half of this topic we will be finding out about toys and how they have changed over time. The second half of the term allows for the studying of changes in houses, school, clothing and entertainment. In science, children will learn about materials. This links to our topic of toys.
Homework 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.
