As soon as the children enter the classroom in the morning, children immediately start their learning. 

PE is on a Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon. Please make sure your child has a full PE kit in school for these lessons.

The Curriculum

English

The children have a Guided Reading session every morning in which they read with an adult and have activities related to their book and our topic on the other days. This provides an idea of the things we do during Guided Reading.  

In Literacy this half term we will be reading Oliver Jeffers stories such as Lost and Found and Up and Down. We will also be looking at non-chronological reports and poems on a theme such as The Sound Collector.
