Welcome to Puffin Class

Here are our class values which we decided were important to be a Puffin!
Our first quest for the term is 'Once upon a time'.
During this quest we learn about castles and the King! We also read lots of stories, fairytales and enjoy a medieval banquet!
Our PE days for this term are on a Wednesday and Friday, so please make sure your child has their full P.E. kits on these days. Please also make sure any ear piercings are removed on these days. We will keep P.E. kits in school and send them home each half term to be washed.
Our Class Charter
Homework expectations:
Reading
- On Fridays the children will bring home a special RWI 'book bag book' that links to the one they have been reading. This is an unfamiliar text and will therefore test the skills they learnt the week before to read it. Ideally the children should be reading 5 times a week.
- On Wednesday, your child will also be set a RWI inc book via the Oxford Owl website. This is the book that they will have been studying that week in their RWI lessons.
- Children can also borrow a 'Reading for Pleasure' book from the classroom or a library book.
Maths
For now no formal Maths homework will be set. However, is always helpful to practise counting. In Year 1 we will be counting in 1s forwards and backwards to 100, in 2s forwards and backwards to 24 and in 10s forwards and backwards to 120. Practising speedy knowledge of number facts such as number bonds (to 10 or 20), doubles and halves are also beneficial.
Spelling
In the Summer Term we will be setting spelling practise for the children. More information to follow...
