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 gear, you could:
- Talk about what a gear is and what it is used for.
- Look for gears on a bicycle or in other machines and discuss what they do.
- Ask questions such as, "What happens when you change gear on a bicycle?" or "Why do you think machines use gears?"
- Encourage your child to explain how gears help things move.
- Revisit the word in different contexts so your child hears and uses it regularly.
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.
