This term our class text will be Oliver Twist! We will be reading this in class with the children. 

During the first week back, we will be completing some assessments with the children, these are nothing to worry about and are just a guide to help us find some of the areas of learning that may need revisiting from the year so far!

Over the past term we have learnt SO much about monarchs from the past! 

We have been working hard in Wonder class to make some beautiful artwork for the church display.

 

If you would like to go and have a look it is up on the display board in St Mary Magdalene's church throughout the festive period and you can pop along on Saturday when the church is open for the
'Keyworth Festivities Day' event on the Square. You are also all invited to the Crib Service on Christmas Eve at 2.30pm!

 

Our class texts this term will be 'Paddington at the Palace' by Michael Bond.    English - We will be spending a week looking at writing poetry and then we will continue using Talk for Writing to write our own stories based ar

Dear Parents/Carers

       

As part of our next topic, where we are learning all about monarchs from the past! As part of this history topic, we are going to be visiting Tamworth Castle on Monday 6^th November. This is the first day back after half term. This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn all about the history of Tamworth Castle and kings and queens of the past!

 

We will all need to bring a packed lunch on that day and will be using the minibus, as well as cars to get to the castle and back. 

Can all children please arrive in school wearing school uniform and bring with them a small bag to carry their lunch and drink.

We will be leaving school at 9 o’clock and returning for the end of the school day at 3:30pm.

 

The cost of the trip includes entry to the Castle, a workshop and travel costs to get there and back. This amounts to £13, which can be paid on school money. Please ensure you also give permission for your child to attend.

 

Yours sincerely,

Sarah Rayns

Well what a WONDERful first few weeks we have had in Wonder class! 

The children have been SO busy, but we have settled into our new class and routines really well.

They have been flying in phonics, learning new sounds and reading their story books.

We have also been doing some tricky maths challenges, working on understanding all about the value of numbers and how they can be split up in different ways (such as tens and ones).

In English, we are learning the story of the Enormous Turnip! The children have learnt the entire story by heart with actions to match, and today had a go at drawing their own story maps to tell the story themselves! (Ask your child to perform the story for you at home!)

We have also been learning lots about our world in geography, the children can now name all seven continents, all five oceans and know lots about the country of Tanzania in Africa!

They have also been growing cress seeds in different environments and conditions to understand more about how plants grow and what they need to thrive. 

It has been lovely getting to know you all better and we are so proud of how you are settling in!

Please remember, PE kits are needed on Wednesday and Friday, and homework will also be checked on Fridays. 

Children should aim to be in the 'green zone' for doodle maths and doodle spell, as well as reading and recording in their home school books.
