Welcome to Caterpillar class!
Our topic for term 6 is Salty Air
We will be diving into the sights, sounds and smells of the seaside and discovering all there is to know about coastlines. We will be using maps and photos to search for human and physical features too. We will be reading The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers, to support our learning. In Science, we will continue to learn about plants, naming them, exploring parts of a plant and identifying their needs, in preparation for our upcoming Farmers' Market. Our RE topic will be Miracles. During this topic, we will read about Jesus' many miracle such as calming the storm and healing the blind man.
Staff
We are fortunate to have a great team at More Park. Mrs Champkins will be in the classroom on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs Bale will be in the classroom on a Thursday and Friday. We will also have Mrs de la Hoyde during the mornings and Mrs Dowd during some afternoons.
Uniform
Please ensure that all uniform and PE kits are labelled. This makes it easier for the children to find their belongings independently and helps return lost uniform quickly. PE kits need to be in school every day and will be returned at the end of the term. PE will take place every Friday afternoon and the children will visit Forest school on a Wednesday afternoon during Term 6.
Drink and snack
Please send in a named water bottle daily and these will be returned daily. Please send them in filled and they will be replenished when necessary during the day. Please ensure lunch boxes are named as well as some of the children have the same lunch boxes. A fruit snack for morning break time is provided at school.
Reading/ Spellings
Books will be changed every Wednesday. We will send four books for your child to read over the course of the week, including two Little Wandle books and two sharing books. Children are expected to read a minimum of five times a week and we encourage you to ask questions alongside to support their understanding of the text. Spellings will continue to be sent home on Friday to be tested the following Friday. A sheet to practice spellings throughout the week will also be sent home weekly.
