Mrs Griffin will take the class for Computing and PE on Wednesdays when Mrs Hutchings or Mrs Jarvis are out of class.The children will also have PE on a Monday afternoon, for Term 3 and 4.
Please make sure your child comes into school in their PE kit on a Monday and a Wednesday.
Reading and Spelling
We use Little Wandle as our early reading scheme in school. The children will share this book in small groups on a Monday and again on a Friday. After the Friday session they will bring it home to share with you. By the time the book gets home with you the aim is that the children are reading it fluently and confidently.
In addition to our reading scheme books the children will bring home a library book each week, which can be fiction or non-fiction. The idea of this book is for the children to enjoy reading a book they have chosen. Please be aware these books are not phonetically decodable so they will need your help to share the book.
Please make sure your child has their Little Wandle and library book in school with them on a Friday as they can only change for a new book if they return the previous one.
Reading at home is not only essential in a child’s development but also a wonderful opportunity for your child to share their book with you. Your child would benefit from reading at home for ten minutes every day; however, we realise that with hectic lives that is not always possible! If you could aim to read with your child at least three times a week, it would be of great benefit to them. Please can you record in your child's reading record at least once a week that you have heard them read. Please do not stop reading to them as this enhances their learning of a wider variety of stories and develops their story language. It is important that each child remembers their reading folder every day as they will have opportunities for quiet reading during school time. Your child will be heard to read in a guided reading session twice a week, this will not be recorded in their yellow reading record book.
Phonics and spelling will be taught everyday which will support your child’s reading, spelling and grammar development.
Spellings will be sent home every week, please practice reading and spelling these words with your child. There will not be a formal test, just several activities throughout the week. Spelling is really important and the more you can support this at home the more it will help your child with their writing development.
Topic Work
The curriculum will be studied through topics, which both infant classes will be following together. Term 3 and 4 topic is, ‘Fantastic Features of our World’ please see the attached topic web for more information.
Our Partnership with You
If there are ever any problems, questions or worries, however small they may seem, please feel free to email the school office to make an appointment to see one of us or try to catch us at the end of the day.
It is important to us that your children feel safe and secure at school and dealing with any worries straight away will help to create a productive and creative environment, where your child feels able to take risks in their learning. We know how important it can be to the children and sorting the little problems out quickly, makes it less likely that they will develop into ‘big’ ones later on.
Finally, please remember:
· Wear PE kit on a Monday and Friday
· Reading books and library books changed on a Friday
· Bring your reading folder every day.
· Spellings sent home weekly every Monday
· Bring a water bottle every day.
Thank you for your continued support, we are looking forward to an exciting year of learning.
If you need anything at all or just want to check in with us, please email the office at office@allsaintsprimaryschool.org.uk
Kind regards,
Mrs. Hutchings and Mrs. Jarvis
