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. Please share the key vocabulary that your child will be learning over the course of the term.
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 minibeast, you could:
- Talk about what a minibeast is: "A minibeast is a small creature, such as an ant, ladybird or worm."
- Look for minibeasts when you are outside and name them together.
- Ask questions such as, "Which minibeasts have we found today?" or "What do you know about ladybirds?"
- Encourage your child to use the word when talking about what they have seen.
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.
