We are a Reception/Year 1 class. Our values in Finland Class are learning, listening to each other, working together, and never giving up!
Class Teacher: Mrs Ashby-Morley
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Bills
PE
Our PE Days are Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit, which is suitable for outdoors (including appropriate footwear). Your child must also wear their federation hooded jumper. Children with long hair need this tied up for these lessons and any jewellery, including earrings, needs to be removed.
Reading
Please ensure your child reads at home daily. As this is vital for developing their comprehension skills, widening their vocabulary and supporting them with their writing. Children on RWI will bring 2 RWI books home. The paper book will be the storybook they are reading in their RWI sessions. The second book is a story that is linked to one of the books they have read in their RWI sessions. These books will be changed every 3 days. It is important for children to re -read the stories. Not only does this help with their fluency but also enables them to develop a stronger understanding of the story. Each time they read their RWI books, please write in their reading records to say they have read at home. The children also have a “Love of Reading” book. This is a book that the children select based upon their interests. The idea is that they are able to share the book with their grown-ups at home and encourage a passion for reading. Children do not have to read all books in one night-just let us know which page they have read up to and the books will be sent home again.
Each time your child brings in their signed reading record they will receive a raffle ticket for our class raffle and will be in with a chance of receiving a prize at the end of term. Children that read 3 times or more each week will also get extra Gedneys.
Topic and Learning Focus
Our topic this term is About Me! Our science learning will focus on Ourselves and Our Senses. Our PSHE learning is based on Ourselves. Our RE learning focuses on What Bible stories tell us as part of the Lincolnshire RE Curriculum.
