Welcome to Venus Class!
Welcome to Year One and to Venus Class! We are really looking forward to all the fun activities and work will be doing this year with you.
The adults who will teach and support Venus Class are Mrs Allan (Class Teacher), Mrs Couzens (Learning Support Assistant) and Mrs Wiles (1-2-1 Learning Support Assistant am) and Mrs Windsor (1-2-1 Learning Support Assistant pm).
This term our PE days will be on Monday and Thursday. Please ensure children come to school in the correct kit on this day and that long hair is tied back. We do not allow the children to wear earrings for PE, so please can they be removed on these days or taped over.
We ask that the children bring their book bags in every day, so we can hear them read and change books if necessary. Each week, we shall be visiting our school library and will encourage the children to bring home a sharing book. This book is for you to enjoy together, with the adult reading most of the text.
Homework is given out every Friday and is due back in on the following Wednesday.
Spellings will be given out each week on a Friday for the children to practise at home to then have a spelling check the following Friday.
Our learning experience for this term is Natural Rhythms
Please see our curriculum newsletter (above) for further details of the learning to take place.
Animal Kingdom Hook Day
We were lucky enough to have Southill Vets come to visit and talk to us about different animals; how to care for them and if they are omnivores, herbivores and carnivores. Longleat brought in lots of different animals for us to hold and see too! We grouped these animals into their different animal groups that we have been learning about (reptiles, fish, birds, amphibians and mammals).
Our moving Winter cards....
We learnt how to create our own moving Winter cards during Design & Technology using levers and sliders.
Toy Box Outcome
This term we have been learning about toys from the past and for their take home task, children were challenged to design and make their own board game. We have thoroughly enjoyed playing them in the classroom.
