Welcome to Lewis Class

Teacher: Miss Bates

Teaching assistant: Mrs Manuel

Term 1

Welcome back! We have an exciting term of learning ahead.

In writing, we will be exploring the book 'Journey' by Aaron Becker and creating our own imaginative pieces inspired by the story. In Maths, our focus will be on place value as well as developing skills in addition and subtraction. Our science topic is 'living things and their habitats', while in history we will be investigating the question: 'What changed in Britain after the Anglo-Saxon invasion?'.

In our daily whole-class reading sessions, we will be reading 'The promise' by Nicola Davies as well as 'Voices in the park' by Anthony Browne. As a class, we will also be enjoying 'Mr Stink' by David Walliams, alongside opportunities for reading for pleasure each week in our Thursday afternoon library sessions.  

Please see the attached curriculum map for more details as well as subject-specific knowledge organisers.

P.E

P.E will be on a Monday and Wednesday.  On Mondays, Lewis Class will be developing their hockey skills, and on Wednesdays we will be completing outdoor, adventurous activities with a focus on developing teamwork and resilience! 

Please make sure you come to school in the correct P.E uniform as detailed below. 

You will need to wear:

• Plain black / navy shorts, plain white t-shirt or white t-shirt with school logo
• Daps for indoor PE
• Trainers for outdoor PE
• Plain black / navy joggers and a plain black / navy sweatshirt or ‘hoodie’ may be worn for cold weather outdoor PE in the winter.
• A blue school fleece with logo is also available.
• Please remember to pack socks for those who wear tights with their normal school clothes.

 Please do not wear different colours or clothes with other logos. 

Home Learning

Please note that no formal home learning will be set this term. However, we encourage regular reading at home, alongside consistent practice of spellings and times tables, as these play a vital role in supporting your child's progress. Little and often is the best approach to take; this may only be 5 minutes a day.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to catch me after school or via the school office.
