Welcome to Dragonfly Class!

This half term our topic is Around the World. 

Each week we will be learning about a different country. We will be learning about landmarks, animals and food that are significant to the United Kingdom, Nepal, Poland, China, Australia and Brazil.

We will have the chance to read a variety of different books this half term. The first two weeks we will be reading 'The Magic Paintbrush' written by Julia Donaldson. We then read 'Izzy Gizmo' written by Pip Jones and finally 'Super Milly and the Super School Day' written by Stephanie Clarkson. 

This half term we are working hard to form our letters using the correct formation.

In Maths we will deepen our understanding of numbers 0-5. We will be learning about one more and one less and the composition of numbers. We then move on to learn about weight and capacity and numbers 6,7,8.

We are busy learning new digraphs and trigraphs and working hard to sound and blend words accurately. We will continue to learn new tricky words whilst also consolidating the ones we have already learnt.

Some reminders:

• Please name all items that are brought to school.

• Please bring a water bottle each day.

• Please bring a book bag each day, with home learning. All books are changed on a Monday.

• Please come to school with suitable clothes (long sleeves and trousers) and have a pair of wellington boots in a bag on your Forest School day.

• Please come to school wearing the PE kit every Friday for the PE lesson.

Thank you.

Mrs Drury and Mrs Millgate
