Term 2 - The Arts
This term, our whole-school driver is The Arts, and we have so much in store for the children! We begin with a deep dive into Diwali through the story Binny’s Diwali, and we are excited to host a special Diwali Day to fully immerse the children in their learning. In History, the children will explore the life of Queen Victoria, discovering what school was like in Victorian times and comparing it to life today. In DT, they will continue their journey through The Arts by designing and creating their own character and party masks. In Maths, our focus will be on addition and subtraction, including developing understanding of Fact Families. The term will conclude with some very exciting Christmas events, including our much-anticipated winter show. We cannot wait to share our wonderful celebration of The Arts with you.
Homework
The children will start bringing a new reading book home on Thursdays. Book change day will then continue to be every Thursday for this term. Children must return their book on a weekly basis in order to receive the next book.
Regular reading and listening to stories is highly recommended as this year your child will complete the statutory Year 1 Phonics Screening check in June. More information about this will follow soon.
