Term 4
Term 4 will see us jump back in time to 1666 to learn all about The Great Fire of London in History. The children will fully immerse themselves into the experience with an all-sensory experience thanks to the loan of an artefacts box from Maidstone Museum.
This term we will be excited by the books we love on World Book Day. The whole school will focus on a central story 'Gorilla' by Anthony Browne. Year 1 will continue to develop their use of verbs and adjectives and begin to use conjunctions to extend their sentences.
In Maths, the children will develop their understanding of number when learning about Place Value of number up to 50.
Homework
Are you working towards your 25 reading band? Or maybe even your 50 reading band? Well done to the children that have managed to read 25 days this term. We look forward to getting more again in Term 4.
In Term 4, our book change day will be twice a week. Please make sure your child has their zippy wallet in school every day so that they can change their book. If your child does not bring their previous book back, we cannot hand out a new one.
It is now getting closer to the Year 1 National Phonics Screening check in June. If you are looking for a resource to support your child at home, try this pack of flash cards. You can purchase them on Amazon for around £10. You can play lots of fun games to get your child reading at home.
