Curriculum information - Summer Term
In the Summer Term we will be covering the following Whole school projects:
*Enterprise *Well-being*
As a Lower Foundation Phase, we will be covering the topic of ‘Scrumptious’ and we will also have a 2 week project following the interests of the children in class.
How can I help my child at home?
Any research in these areas of learning would be beneficial to your child.
If you have any items (e.g. books, leaflets, etc.) that you believe might be linked to this topic and would support learning, then please send them into class.
Encouraging your child to draw, write, count, share books, notice words, letters and numbers around them as well as playing and talking is hugely beneficial.
Tedi Twt Sacks
We have enjoyed using Tedi Twt sacks in our classes. Tedi Twt will continue to go home with a different child each week and we love seeing what he’s been up to in the accompanying book. They will have the opportunity to share what they did with him with the rest of the class. Please ensure all items are in the sack when it comes back to school.
Reading
Please can reading books be returned at least once a week. Pupils are involved in a range of other reading activities in class but it is important that pupils can practice at home. We encourage that all pupils enjoy reading and listening to stories at home.
