Welcome to Kingfisher Class. 

The class teacher is Mrs Exton, assisted by Mrs Simpson and Mrs Budd.

The class will also receive teaching from Mr Locke, Mr Exton, Mr Ablett and Miss Shipston for various lessons across the two weeks. 

As you know there have been some changes to the school structure this year. This means that some classes are mixed. It also mean that our time table runs on a two week program. This shouldn't effect you too much but it means that some lessons will be on different days on different weeks. 

PE will be on Wednesdays and Fridays. Come to school in PE kit on those days. 

Friday will be outside with Mr Ablett. 

Please ensure that PE kit follows the school uniform policy. 

If you have any questions or need any help then please catch me after school or drop me an email on extonclass@morlandprimary.com. 

We hope everyone has a lovely first year in big school!! 

Spring term

PHONICS - using Read, Write Inc. children will be grouped according to their learning needs.

WRITING - using Talk for Writing children will explore a story and then follow the  patterns to write instructions.

MATHS - following the White Rose scheme using mastery maths teaching techniques. This allows children to explore new concepts using resources and images before using numbers and formal methods of recording. We continue our work in multiplication and division work and then move onto measurement (length, height, mass, capacity).

Each half term we will explore a new question in RE relating to a specific religion.

This half term our question is "Why do Christians trust and follow Jesus?"

Your children will be taught COMPUTERS by Mr Exton and MUSIC by Mr Locke. Both are highly skilled in these specific subjects.

All other areas of the curriculum will be taught through topics. These will be taught as a block of work rather than having a specific subject lesson each week.
