Hello Wrens! 

We have had a lovely week this week. On Thursday we celebrated VE day in class with some creative arts and crafts (including making flags) and we learnt a lot about why we celebrate VE day. 

In the afternoon we enjoyed a lovely picnic with all our friends across the school. We had a wonderful day. 

Well done for your excellent effort in all your learning. As always you have tried your hardest and embraced new challenges with enthusiasm. 

 

We have lots of exciting learning planned for this half term. The Reception children's learning is mapped out linking to the EYFS framework on the document below but they will be enjoying the same texts and themes as the Year 1 children. 

 

English - This term the children will be looking at the Cornish story Jack the Giant Killer, exploring Oi Dog and Oi Frog by Kes Gray and writing recounts about our beanstalks and dictionary skills.

Maths - In our maths lesson we will be learning about multiplication, division and fractions.

Science - The science learning this half term is Plants - Growing things.

Geography - Our geography learning this term is focussed around Sensational Safari!

Art - In our art lessons we are discovering Vincent Van Gogh - Sunflowers.

RE - In RE we are learning who is Jewish and how they live.

Music - Our music lessons will be using instruments.

PSHE - Relationships

 PE - Cricket and Athletics

 

To support your child at home please read their RWI book with them at least 4 times a week and help your child practice their spellings. Thank you. 

Miss King and Miss Thomas.
