Term 3

This term, our whole-school topic is Navigation, and the children will be immersing themselves in the story A Walk in London, travelling around famous London landmarks through storytelling and exploration. As part of this, the children will take a walk around the school grounds to locate hidden London landmarks, discovering and recording interesting facts along the way. They will then use this knowledge to write their own diary entries and create fact files. If you have the opportunity to visit London this term, it would be a wonderful way for your child to deepen their understanding of these landmarks further. In Science, we will be learning about humans, including the different parts of the body and what humans need to stay alive. In RE, the children will explore places that are special to them and to people of different religions; this will include a visit to St Nicolas Church to look at the features inside a church, as well as an online tour of a synagogue to learn about a Jewish place of worship. Alongside these exciting lessons, we will continue to practise new phonics sounds every day in preparation for the phonics screening test in June. Please continue to support your child at home as much as possible—we really appreciate your help.

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.
