Welcome to Dragonfly Class!

Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely half-term break. This half-term is going to be very busy as we have lots of exciting things planned. This week, Forest School starts for the children and I know they are very excited to spend time in the Forest. Please check your emails for dates and what to wear.

Our topic is 'Traditional Tales'. We will be learning a range of familiar stories, acting them out and learning repeated language. We will even be cooking some of the food eaten in the stories. We will be learning about several special events this half-term; Bonfire night, Diwali, Remembrance Day and Children in Need. As we approach December, we will be practising for our Nativity as well as learning why Christians celebrate Christmas.

In Literacy, we will be reading a range of books to support learning about traditional tales. These will include Jack and the Beanstalk, Red Riding Hood and The Gingerbread Man. We will be practising sharing our ideas in full sentences as well as trying to write simple words and phrases.

In Numeracy, we will be developing our understanding of numbers to 5 as well as recognising different shapes.

As the weather is changing, please ensure that your child has a coat to wear in school as we go outside even if it is raining. Please ensure that all uniform is clearly named, so we are able to return items to their correct owner.

Thank you 
Mrs Faircloth
