Welcome back to Class 7. We are very excited to see you all and continue your school adventure.
We hope that you have had an exciting and enjoyable Easter break.
In class 7, we are active learners and over the summer term, we will be supporting your children to settle back into their environment and routine. Within literacy the children will be exploring a variety of stories which they can then use to develop their communication, reading and writing skills. Mathematics will develop their number recognition skills, counting accurately and solving practical number problems such as addition and subtraction alongside forming the numbers correctly.
Our topic is called “under the sea” and will focus on learning about different creatures and habitats under the sea. Through the topic we will be developing our communication, understanding, exploration and design skills through a range of activities such as role play, art skill development and discussion time.
Your child will be taught through a mixture of teacher led, teacher guided and child-initiated learning, both indoors and outdoors. Therefore, please ensure your child brings their coat to school each day so they are suitably clothed for outdoor activities. As the weather gets warmer, pupils may need to a sun hat and can we ask for suncream to be applied.
Each week the children will spend time exploring the outdoor environment and participate in woodland activities. Please ensure that your child has a pair of wellies in a carrier bag for these sessions.
PE will take place every Wednesday. PE kits shall be kept in school until the end of each term. We recommend that you include both indoor and outdoor footwear for child, along with a tracksuit for the colder months.
At Palmers Cross, we encourage the children to become independent learners so please ensure that all clothes, shoes and bags have your child’s name on.
We operate an open door policy, so please do not hesitate to speak to myself, Miss Biffin if you have any questions or messages, I will be available at the classroom doors at 8:30am and end of school 3:15pm or at the end of the telephone.
We are looking forward to a fun filled summer term .
Many Thanks
Miss Biffin
