Welcome to Elm Class Page
This term (Autumn 2024), our learning project will be:
'What makes a hero?'
This term (Autumn Term 2 2024), we will be continuing with our theme of heroes, whilst also taking more of a geographical and scientific focus with our learning. We will be looking at the seasons and the weather in the UK, as well as in more extreme climates located near the poles and the equator. We will develop our understanding of the world by identifying and describing where the UK is positioned on our globe, before zooming out to look at the continents and the oceans that cover the surface of the Earth.
Below you will find our project planner with further details about this term's learning:

Home Learning
Please read with your child everyday from their Read Write Inc book and record the reading in their reading record. The children on Read Write Inc have a bookmark for their book band with tricky words to also practise reading nightly. Inside the reading record you will see that there are tasks to be completed to help develop your child's reading skills. Those children children who have finished the Read Write Inc programme have a gold band reading book.
There will be a maths and wrting task set for homework on a Friday, which will link to our work in class. The task will be sent home in a home learning book and should be completed in the book. It should be returned to school by the following Thursday, ready for the next task.
Each week the children will have some focus spelling words to learn taken from the Year 1 common exception word list. The common exception words are everyday words that break the phonic rules taught in Read Write Inc. They will need to be learnt and remembered, so the children can use them in their independent writing. If your child can already confidently spell the word, they should write it in a sentence. Sentences must start with a capital letter but could end with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. Spelling practise can be recorded in the home learning book.
