Welcome to Term 3!

This term our theme is ‘We Are Scientists’, and we are going to learn about everyday materials. We will categorise them into natural and synthetic materials and understand how they are used within everyday objects. We will learn about the importance of recycling through Science, explore collage in Art and use a range of materials in DT. We will be making junk models so please start collecting cardboard and plastic, such as boxes, bottles, kitchen roll tubes and lids. In English, we will be learning through the text ‘The Three Little Pigs – An Architectural Tale’. We will develop our understanding of any new vocabulary through word games and drama before developing our skills as authors.

Don't forget that you can scroll down right to the bottom of the page to find this terms Knowledge Organiser and spellings!

General Class Information

In Foundation we are taught through whole class sessions, such as Little Wandle Phonics and White Rose Maths, and then practise, develop and extend our learning through high quality play experiences. Please come to our Fitz Playdates to learn more about your child's education in the Foundation Stage and discover how you can support your child's learning. Please see the link to the workshop presentations below for more details.

Year 1 children are working within the National Curriculum and all their learning experiences are planned alongside the wider Key Stage 1 team.

Information about the learning for the year can be found in our Long Term Plan, which, along with other key documents such as Knowledge Organisers and Spellings, can be found in the document list at the bottom of this page.

This page will continue to be updated throughout the course of the year. 

Our core aim as educators is to get your children reading and become confident writers and mathematicians. Please read to your children and with your children as often as possible. Regular practise with their phonic reading book is a key expectation of learning at home but it is also really important for you to read to your children - that bedtime story is growing their vocabulary and understanding!  Regular counting in ones for FS2 children and in ones, twos, fives and tens for Year One will support their maths and opportunities to write at home are always beneficial. However remember they have had busy days at school - so if you can only fit on one thing before they are too tired, please read!

Reading books

We change reading books every Tuesday and Friday, this gives you opportunity to read and re-read your book three times. We also send home the read and share bags with your Reading for Pleasure texts; we ask that these are returned every Thursday please.

Rewards 

We reward your children using positive praise, marbles and tokens home. The marbles the children earn feed into a jar and when this is full we have a whole class treat- this is often things like extra playtime, extra time on the pirate ship play equipment or a dance session.
