Welcome to Miss Dilks' Class!

Our Topic this term is -
' Amazing Explorers'
​ 

Welcome back I hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are reading for a fun filled and exciting half term!

Please see the Spring Term Newsletter with information regarding our curriculum focus.

Uniform 
Please could you remember to clearly label all your child's uniform as children are still leaving them and loosing them. There a lot of jumpers and cardigans still left in the jumper box. It will make it a lot easier for them and yourselves to find the correct one.


PE
This Term PE will be on a Wednesday afternoon. 
Our PE lessons will be inside and will focus on social skills from the real PE scheme. Children will develop their balance and agility skills as well as learning to share, listen and work together in small groups and teams. 


Reading
The reading challenge will continue this half term! 
Your child can earn a raffle ticket if they can tell an adult the title, read most of the book by themselves and talk about the main events that have happened. Their raffle ticket will get put into a bag and at the end of half term 2 raffle tickets will be drawn out the bag. The winners of the 2 raffle tickets will be able to choose their own book that they would like to take home and keep! 

Please listen to your child read as often as possible and If your child needs their book changing It would be helpful if you could remind them to place their reading book in the white basket in the classroom so I can change this. Please could you also ensure that you sign your child's reading record to let me know that you have read with them and if their book needs changing. 

Please also encourage your child to read for pleasure. This can be any type of book that they are interested in and in a place that they feel comfortable in. This can include comic books, recipes books, poems, non-fiction books, newspapers. 
 
Spelling
We will continue with spelling shed. Your child will be given new spellings each week linked to graphemes from their phonics group. They will be able to practise these on spelling shed on the level of their choice and will be tested each Monday on them before the new spellings have been launched. 

We have such a busy but exciting half term ahead! Please continue to take a look at our class dojo page to see all the fantastic learning that we are doing!
