Welcome to Bumblebee Class. Our teacher is Miss Tombs.

                                                          Welcome back to Term 5

                  Our historical enquiry this term is 'How have explorers changed the world?'

Within this enquiry the children will learn about the lives of explorers and the different challenges they met when travelling the world. They will consider the positive or negative impacts of these explorers. They will develop their knowledge of significant people's lives, consider the qualities that helped them achieve and learn how they might apply those qualities to their own lives.

During Term 5 the children will have the opportunity to learn at Forest School.

Bumblebee Forest School dates for Term 5: Friday 10th, Friday 17th and Friday 24th of May.

Please provide a Forest School kit for your child, including Wellington boots and a waterproof coat.

PE days will be Tuesdays (outdoors) and Thursdays (indoors). All children should have a PE kit to change into. It should include a named 'house' T-shirt, shorts/jogging bottoms and a pair of plimsolls/trainers. No earrings should be worn on PE days.

Year 1 children are developing their reading skills, and it is very important that they read regularly. Each week they will bring home a phonics reading book that will help them to practise the phonemes (sounds) they have been learning in their phonics lessons. They will earn dojo points for every day they read at home during the week. Please aim to read with your child for 10 minutes every day. Book bags with reading books should be in school every day.

Home learning will be given on Fridays and should be handed in by the following Thursday. There will also be Spelling Shed assignments that the children can complete during the week.

If you have any questions, please come and talk to me at the end of the day.
