Welcome Back
Hello and a warm welcome back to school for the spring term. We have had a new child start in our class this half term.
In English we will be focusing on a book called 'Animal Boogie' which the children have enjoyed learning about during our first week back. The children will be continuing to develop their literacy skills including reading, writing, speaking & listening.
In Topic our subject is come dine with me & there will be a different genre each week. The first weeks genre is British foods and so far the children have enjoyed a taster session. We are planning a few trips around the different genres including McDonald's & pizza hut.

This half term we have been learning all about 2D and 3D shapes. We have been sorting 2D and 3D shapes and have been looking at the properties of common 2D shapes. The children have particularly enjoyed using the interactive whiteboard games to learn all about different shapes.
Peace at last!
Our book this term is called Peace at Last by Jill Murphy and the children have enjoyed the repetitive phrases within this book. We have been singing the Peace at Last song and have read the book many times. The children have enjoyed making bear masks using different coloured fabric and making airplanes using coloured lolly sticks and wooden pegs.
Cookery!
This half term, the focus was on making different twists and the children have so far enjoyed tasting jam, cheese, chocolate and apple + raisin twists. They have taken part in mixing, rolling, and spreading/sprinkling the filling on top ready to be rolled into a twist and baked.
'Hello and welcome back to school. My name is Dawn-Rose and I am the class teacher for Swan class this year. We have 1 TA 2 who is Margaret and 3 TA's Helen, Carla and Dawn. There are 8 boys and 1 girl in Swan class and they are settling in well. Our topic this half term is 'Champions' and we will be learning all about our bodies, sports, healthy eating, personal safety and hygiene. This week we have been focusing on our bodies learning all about our facial features. We have made our own champions with our faces on as well.
Our book this half term is Peace at Last by Jill Murphy. The children have already begun reading the story and have already learnt what the story is about. In weeks to come we will be building upon their understanding further.
I look forward to seeing you at the Meet the Parents event in a few weeks time and please keep looking back to see further updates.
