Dear Parents/Carers of Willow class,
RE: Willow Class 1 Autumn 2 Curriculum Letter
We hope you all had a good half term holiday. The children have settled back in very quickly.
Our learning journey this term will look at our special interests and explore our five senses. We will continue to make use of our new, sensory curriculum. These topics will allow us to focus on what the children like doing. We know lots of their interests but please do let us know about anything they do like to do or are interested in at home.
English
We will continue working on phonics and the fine motor skills needed to write. We will also use narrative stories to develop our skills and tie them in with our sensory play and other activities.
Maths
The focus in Maths this term remains numbers to 100. Children will practise counting and we will also look at place value and number bonds.
Science
This term, the children will be learning about their senses.
Reading
We have a reading session each day, in which our team will sit with each child, looking at books and reading to them. Reading at home with your child every day will help them make progress. This might be reading a story to your child or just looking at a picture book together.
PE – Every Friday
Please send your child to school wearing their PE kit every Thursday. This term PE will be inside. School PE kit consists of trainers or plimsoles (Velcro trainers are ideal), plain black or grey shorts/jogging bottoms, a white T-shirt and their red school jumper. Please do not send your child into school wearing football shirts or other non-uniform clothing. Please also remember no jewellery or hooped earrings.
Important reminders
Uniform
Please ensure your child has a warm coat and that all jumpers, hats, scarves and gloves are named.
Lunches and snacks
If your child has a packed lunch or brings in a snack, please don’t include sweets or chocolate. Also, please ensure that no foods contain nuts, due to allergies.
A separate letter will be sent out in the next couple of weeks with all dates for festive events later this term.
Thank you in advance for your continued support.
Mr Clarke, Ms Lasio and Ms Ortizova
