Summer 6
How does your garden grow?
Our Big question for the summer term 2 is ‘How does your garden grow?’ We are going to be spending a lot of time outside, learning a lot about different plants, flowers and trees and then moving on to animals and their habitats.
Our PE days this term will be on a Monday and Tuesday. Please ensure your child wears their PE kit to school on these day. We have still got an awful lot of school clothing that is not named – we cannot take responsibility for unnamed clothing, so it is essential that all school uniform is labelled clearly with your child’s name.
You can support your child’s learning at home by:
- Asking them about what they have learned about in school that day.
- Discussing the topics that are being covered together.
- Reading about the topics at home.
- Visiting the library to find out more about the topics for the term.
- Practise counting carefully and in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s.
- Practise reading and spelling the Year 1 common exception words.
Take One Picture
Our topic for the Summer term 1 is Take One Picture. We will be joining Katie on an adventure, as she steps through some artwork in an art gallery. We will be exploring and learning with her about Claude Monet and different media and techniques as we paint, sculpt and construct our own masterpieces.
Our PE days this term will be on a Monday and Tuesday. Please ensure your child wears their PE kit to school on these days. We have still got an awful lot of school jumpers that are not named – we cannot take responsibility for unnamed clothing, so it is essential that all school uniform is labelled clearly with their name.
