Welcome to Dormouse Class
Class Teacher: Miss Hilton
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Ninglekhu
Term 1
A BIG welcome to Dormouse Class!
We are going to have a wonderful year full of new learning opportunities and experiences. We will begin with our Geography enquiry, and the question ‘Would you prefer to live in a hot or cold country?’ You will be able to name the seven continents and find them on an atlas.
Our English sessions will be linked to the following books:
Augustus and His Smile by Catherine Rayner, Home by Carson Ellis, A Place Called Home by Kate Baker, We’re Roaming in the Forest by Laurie Krebs and The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson.
Our Maths learning will begin with Place Value, leading on to Addition and Subtraction.
It is always helpful to us for you to support your child’s learning at home with learning the number bonds to 10 and then to 20. Your child should be able to rapidly recall all the pairs of numbers that make 10 e.g. 1 + 9, 2 + 8 etc.
PE will be on a Friday afternoon, so please have an appropriate named PE kit and trainers. These can be worn to school and kept on throughout the day. Please remember your named jumper or fleece. This term we will be doing PE outside.
Forest School will be Tuesday Afternoons. Please bring your Forest School kit and appropriate footwear to school in the morning, ready to change into at lunchtime.
Home learning will include reading each day and phonics/reading/spelling games on
Twinkl For Web alongside practise TT Rockstars.
If you have any questions please contact me via DOJO.
Thank you for your continued support.
