General Reminders

Please ensure your child has their PE kit in school and that all items are clearly labelled. We encourage children to practise getting dressed at home to help them get changed quickly in school! This term both classes have indoor PE on Tuesday and outdoor PE on Friday.
Library day is every Monday. Please make sure your child's library book is returned every Monday.
Any letters or reply slips, which need to be returned, can be put in your child’s book bag. The children are encouraged to check them each morning and give things in after the register. Please tell your child to show the class teacher if there is a message in the yellow communication book. These will be checked by a member of staff Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Water bottles will be kept in class so the children can access water throughout the day and they will change their water regularly.

Term 2 2019/2020:

Topic Title:

A Royal Rumble... Queen Elizabeth I v Queen Elizabeth II

Term 1 2019/2020:

Topic Title:

Where shall we live? Urban v Rural.

We will be reading the texts:

For Topic this term, we will be learning to locate the United Kingdom, its four countries and surrounding seas by using world maps, atlases and globes. We will be creating a large map for our topic display to help us with our learning! We will be reading the text, “Town Mouse and Country Mouse” to help us to recognise physical and human features of different places. Towards the end of the term, we will be learning to observe and use aerial photographs to help us identify similarities and differences between urban and rural places.

Can you use world maps, atlases or globes to find out the following:

What are the four countries of the United Kingdom?

Can you locate them on a map?

Can you name the capital cities for each country?

What are the names of the UK's surrounding seas?

Can you identify similarities and differences between urban and rural places?

Learning in Term 1:

We have created some lovely displays of our work!
