To find out more about your child's learning for this term please look at the links below. You will find an overview document which gives you information about all the areas of learning.
In addition, you will find vocabulary sheets that show the key words your child will be learning this term. Talking about these words at home can help your child remember them and understand them more deeply.
For example, if your child is learning the word battery, you could:
- Show your child a battery and talk about what it is and what it is used for.
- Look around your home for items that use batteries, such as remote controls, torches or toys.
- Ask questions such as, "What happens when the battery runs out?" or "Which things in our house need batteries to work?"
- Encourage your child to explain what they have found using the word battery.
- Revisit the word over time so your child hears and uses it in different situations.
If you are a bilingual or multilingual family, talking about new vocabulary in all of your child's languages can be especially helpful. Using and discussing words in different languages helps children make connections and develop a deeper understanding of new vocabulary.
Teachers can be contacted via Class Dojo if you have any questions or queries.
