Welcome to Robin Class 

Welcome back after the half term break to you and your families.

Teacher - Mrs Turner

Teaching Assistants - Mrs Kelly, Mrs Leeman

On our class webpage is full of useful information about this term's learning and during the year photos of your child's work will be uploaded.

The Curriculum: 

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).

PE days will be Wednesday and Friday (with Mr Ablett). Your child will need to come to school in their PE kit not school uniform. We expect them to wear a white t-shirt, black shorts or jogging bottoms and their school sweatshirt. No t-shirts with logos or hoodies, thank you.

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.

History - The Stone Age -Looking at everyday life during this time and the significance of Stonehenge.

Geography - Seas, lakes and oceans - what is the difference between them. Identifying features of our coastline.

PSHE - Looking at dangers within the home and how we can keep safe. Looking at the different people in our community who help to keep us safe and how we can contact them, eg 999

Art - Making marks in different ways and exploring textures and thick and thin lines..

Science - Materials - identifying and comparing different materials and thinking about their properties and what we use them for. Changing solid shapes by squashing, twisting and bending.

If you have any worries, concerns or questions you can either talk to me on the playground at hometime or contact me via my school email,
