The children will be welcomed by Mrs Johnson, class teacher, Mrs Sargent, teaching assistant and Mrs Stubley, teaching assistant
In our classroom, children are encouraged to see mistakes not as setbacks, but as powerful stepping stones in their learning journey. We celebrate effort, curiosity, and resilience, creating a space where every child feels safe to take risks and grow. Through a nurturing environment built on trust and encouragement, pupils develop confidence and a genuine love of learning. Together, we build a culture where reflection, support, and joy are at the heart of every lesson.
Home Learning
In Kingfisher Class, we promote a love of reading and we encourage children to read for pleasure whenever possible. We will be exploring a wide variety of texts throughout the school year in guided reading and reading practice. Your child will receive a reading book and new reading record and this will be changed on a Monday along with the library books once this is up and running. You child's reading should be brought into school daily as there may be opportunities for extra reading practice. We hope that you can support us by promoting a similar love of reading at home and helping to increase your child’s fluency and comprehension skills by listening to them read, even for a short space of time, at least three times a week. In September we will also be introducing our new Reading Quests. An exciting way for children to continue reading for pleasure at home whilst completing a variety of quests to gain rewards.
Physical Education
In Kingfisher Class, PE will be taught on a Monday and Thursday this year. We ask that on these days, children come to school wearing their PE kits. Children will need appropriate footwear such as trainers to wear throughout the school day. Hair should be tied back and any earrings removed.
Autumn 1
This term, we’ll be exploring lots of exciting topics across our subjects! In Geography, we’ll be comparing our local area with Tulum, Mexico, thinking about places, people, and environments. In Maths, our focus will be on place value—understanding the value of each digit in a number and how numbers are built. In English and Reading, we’ll be diving into a variety of books and using them to practise sentence structure and develop our writing skills. In PE, we’ll be building our fundamentals and ball control, while in Music we’ll be performing rhythms and moving to a steady pulse. Our PSHE lessons will focus on “Being Me in My World,” helping us understand ourselves and others. In RE, we’ll be learning about the Christian worldview, and in Art we’ll be experimenting with monochromatic designs using shades of one colour. We’ll also be using computers throughout our learning in all these subjects—whether it’s researching, creating, or practising new skills
