Ash Class

Spring Term 2022


Happy New Year and Welcome Back!

We hope you have all had a chance to rest and time to treasure with family, friends and loved ones.  We look forward to an exciting term with the children, exploring our new topic, 'Incredible India'.  We will be focusing on the beautiful key text 'Tamarind and the Star of Ishta' for much of our English, DT and art over the next few weeks, as well as looking at the geography and culture of India, key moments in India's history and some of the famous figures involved.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Children should have wellies and coats in school every day.  Even when we do not have PE or Forest School we will be outside for the daily mile, break and lunchtimes on a daily basis as much as possible.

PE - Will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please ensure children have correct PE kit.  Tuesday's sessions will be indoor gymnastics. We will aim to be outside for Wednesday's lesson so the children will require jogging bottoms. 

FOREST SCHOOL - Mondays with Mrs Gorton and Mrs Petros. Please can children have correct forest school kit in school. 

READING- Please read with your child as often as you can at home and record this in their reading diaries. Reads will be counted on a Thursday. 

SPELLINGS- Will be set and tested on a Monday.  The first set of spellings for this term will be given on Monday 10th January. Please support your child with learning their spellings at home and do check if you are unsure which spellings your child is learning. They will continue to stick their spellings and complete their tests in their blue spelling book which should come in to school every day.  

TIMES TABLES- Will be tested on a Friday. We expect the children to recall their tables quickly so please can you support your child at home with practising these. The children are all at different stages but they should know which times table they are on. 
Times Tables Rockstars is a really fun way to practise times tables, click on the link to take you to the website and contact one of us if your child does not know their login. ​
