Autumn Term 2 2022-23

Something Special

Dear Parents, 

Welcome back to a new term in The Little Conkers Class. This term our topic is Something Special. 

We will be learning about lots of celebrations, festivals and happy times from different cultures and religions including Bonfire Night, Diwali, Christmas and  Hanukkah  . We will learn about important times in history through  Armistice Day and The Gunpowder Plot and learn about our world looking at our local environment and different countries around the world. 

We will begin our Phase 2 Phonics journey learn to read and write letters inorder to blend them into words. Please help your child at home by asking them what sound they learnt today and helping them to look for it in reading and words in the environment. Please continue to read with them at home at least 3 times a week. 

We will culminate our term by learning about Christmas and the story of birth of Jesus Christ. To support this learning we will  practising a Christmas Nativity, called Whoops A Daisy Angel, which will tell the Christmas Story. Our performance will be on 7th December at 9.30am. All are welcome to come and watch. Please look out for a letter with your child's role and words to practise in the coming weeks. 

In Reception, instead of holding a Parents Evening, where I see everybody in one go, I arrange a meeting following the week where your child is the focus child. Each child will have 1 week where I pay particular attention to them, their learning and what they have achieved; this is called their focus child week. If your child hasn't been the focus child yet you will get it at some point this term.  A letter will be sent home in your child's book bag informing you when it is their week. 

Thank you for all of your continued help and support in helping yor children to learn. 

If you ever have any questions please just grab me after school.

looking forward to a fun filled, exciting term.
