 Helping Your child at home

Topic

Our topic this term is 'Living Things'

Through this exciting topic your child will find out about living things – both past and present. They will learn facts about dinosaurs and discover how big some of these giant creatures were. We will learn about different types of animals that roam the earth today, and what they need to grow and thrive. The children will also explore our local community looking for the living things that make our world beautiful!

Homework: Reading folders are sent home on a  Friday and need to be returned the following Wednesday so that reading books can be changed.

Wellies: Please could you send a pair of wellies into school that will stay with us for the year. We intend using the outdoor environment as much as we can!
