Welcome to Bats Class

It has been lovely to meet all the children this week. They have settled into their new classroom really well and have shown themselves to be eager, keen learners. We cannot wait to spend the year with them!

We will update this class page weekly and include photos in the Class Gallery to show what we have been up to.

Our Home Learning expectations include daily reading, as well as having the option to choose an activity from the grid to support your child's learning at school. 

Our Topic Web shows information of our learning this term. Our topic this term will be Dinosaurs.

Our PE days this term will be on Tuesday and Thursday, so please make sure the children come into school dressed in their PE kit on those days.

Week 2

It has been a busy week in Bats class. The children have been wonderful at learning their new routines and are showing us how independent they already are, especially with evidencing their own learning. Well done Bats!

In English, the children have been introduced to our new story, Tom and the Island of the Dinosaurs; and they have made a great start to learning our model text. They have created small world set-ups with their own dinosaur puppets to show the story, as well as ordering pictures and writing sentences about what is happening. 

In Maths, we have been sorting objects, and representing objects with counters and digits; as well as demonstrating their counting forwards (backwards will come next week!).

In Science we have begun to look at the seasons by sorting pictures into the correct seasons, as well as creating our own weather diary that we will report on each day. 

In our Reading lessons this week we discussed our favourite books and recommended them to our friends as well as visiting the school library to choose a new book to bring home.

In RE we have looked at the Creation Story, and have completed some sequencing of this to show our understanding.

The highlight of our week was being introduced to our Year 6 buddies on Friday. We spent a lovely time playing with them and getting to know all about them. The children drew a lovely picture to give each of them, which told them a little about themselves and their likes. I am sure you have heard all about it this weekend!
