Spring Term 1 2024

Welcome back ! Happy New Year! I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the break.

This term we will be learning about the Egyptians as our topic. In Science, we will study the digestive system and teeth - their uses

and how to look after them.

Our games and P.E. sessions are as last term and I'll let you know if these change.

I have put the spelling for this half term on the planning so you can see whats coming up.

Welcome to St Anthony class hope you have all enjoyed your summer break and are ready for the new school year ahead. Below you will find a few reminders in readiness for this coming year.

PE kits are to be worn to school every Wednesday and Friday.

 Children have a reading record and every week, new spellings will be glued in and details of when homework is set on spag.com- this is optional for those who would like to complete) please encourage your child to bring in their book every day as we use this as evidence of their reading at home. Any messages you would like to pass on can be written within the book, however, please come in or phone the school if you would like to discuss any matter further.

 Dojo points will be given to pupils who have remembered them and for those who have read the previous night. Please read as often as you can with your child to increase their fluency. As per home/school policy, it is expected that children will read at least 3 times a week at home. I have also given the children a ‘Shelf Book.’ They can change these as required and I will use these for individual reading in class.

Our Forest school session is on a Monday and I suggest that pupils bring their wellies to wear (or some footwear to change into) as we will be out in all weathers!

 This coming term out topic will be based on Arctic and Antarctic Explorers. We will look in particular at creating a non-chronological report on animals found in either region. It is my hope that children will understand why a polar bear will not meet a penguin by the end of the topic!

We hope to get the chance to meet you in person soon,

Mrs H. Jones and Miss C. Davies.

Welcome back to the summer term. I hope you have had a peaceful Easter. Fingers crossed the weather will be brighter and I certainly like to see the lighter evenings. 

Games this term will remain on a Wednesday and P.E on a Friday. Swimming is on a Tuesday, we recommend the children wear their costume under their uniform for speed and ease. Just remember to pack underwear and a towel!

As you can see from the overview below, our termly topic is The Tudors. We will be looking at different aspects of Tudor life and comparing this to our lives today. I think the childern will find that we are very lucky! Later on in the term we will make collages of Henry V111 and his queens.

Although homework is under consultation, we hope that the children read at least 3 times a week and DOJO points will continue to be awarded in St Anthony's class. Big Maths is online as is Spag.com and I think these are  valuable tools  to support the children.

I look forward to seeing you at the Termly consultation in 26th April.

Spring 2023

Welcome back to a new term.

I'm really excited about this term's topic! We will be looking at Prehistoric Times. Starting with the Stone Age, Bronze Age and then the Iron Age. By second half of the term, I am hoping the weather will have improved and that we will be able to walk up to the Oswestry Hill Fort and have our picnic lunch up there, (fingers crossed!).

Please have a look at St Anthony's medium term plan for more detail on what we will be covering.

Homework details are in the home learning section and all passwords etc remain the same.

Mrs R-L and I hope the children enjoy the activities we have planned for them.

As always, any problems or difficulties accessing the work do not hesitate to contact us.
