Spring Term Topic

The Big Book Fest!

Our new topic for this term is 'Big Book Fest', where we’ll fall in love with reading and embark on exciting adventures without leaving the classroom.

Our essential questions will be:

• Why do people tell stories and how can stories help us learn about the world and each other?
• What makes someone a hero or a villain?
• How are lessons in traditional tales useful to us today?

This term the children will discover a love of reading and become storytellers themselves as they create and publish their own story books, explore cultural art and celebrate differences. 

Outdoor learning

We will be getting outside as much as possible therefore please make sure you send in appropriate clothing every day e.g. a sun hat or warm coat.

Please send in wellies with names on them to be stored in school.

Outdoor Learning Session in the Wooded area is on Monday.

Reading expectations

Children are expected to read at home every day. A reading record has been sent home for you to record your comments about your child's reading. Please return children's reading books on a Friday so they can be changed. 

You can use the reading books supplied by the school or the e-books available on Oxford Owl.
