Chestnut Class

Teachers: Mrs E Dennis-Launder and Mrs G Smith-Little

This half term, our main topic will be Discovering Little Waltham - A Journey Through Our Local Area.

Within the year group curriculum this half term we will also be studying Incarnation in R.E, Mechanisms in DT, Singing in Music, Materials in Science, Parts and Wholes in Maths, Health and Wellbeing in P.S.H.E.

Homework will be handed out every Friday and should be completed and returned by Wednesday. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce what we have been learning in class and provide additional practice.

PE will take place on Mondays and Fridays. The lessons will focus on fitness and target games. Please ensure your child comes to school with a complete PE kit, a plain tracksuit for colder days, appropriate footwear and have removed their earrings.

Regular reading at home is vital to your child’s progress. Please encourage the children to read every day and record this in their reading record. We check reading records weekly every Monday, and any support you provide at home makes a significant difference.

End-of-term assessments in Reading, Writing and Mathematics will take place at the end of November. These assessments will help us evaluate your child’s progress this term and put in place further challenge or support. Reports to parents will then be sent home at the end of term.
