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 magnet, you could:
- Talk about what a magnet is and what it does.
- Look for magnets around your home, such as on the fridge or in cupboard catches.
- Ask questions such as, "What things do you think a magnet will stick to?" or "Why doesn't it stick to everything?"
- Explore the word through play by testing different objects to see which are magnetic and which are not.
- Encourage your child to use the word when talking about what they have discovered.
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.
