Limitless Learning
Term 5
Welcome back! We hope that you have all had a wonderful Easter break.
This term we have a fantastic topic planned:
My Place in the World
To begin our Summer term, we will be exploring our local area, getting to know more about the history of Paulton, exploring it's geographical features and building connections within the local community.
This topic has a Geography focus, which will include learning map skills. We will also be locating the countries of the UK including their capital cities. We will compare the village of Paulton to contrasting areas in the world and think about where these locations are. If you're able to volunteer some time to help us get out into the village on a 'local learning area' walk, please let your child's class teacher know.
In Science, we will be looking at plants and be exploring the trees and flowers in our environment. We hope to give the children hands on experience of planting and growing their own flowers too!
Homework Tasks and Expectations
You will find some information about home learning in the newsletter, linked above.
Reading
Please continue to read with your children as much as possible. We recommend short daily reading opportunities and regularly rereading familiar books. We do expect children re-reading the same book three times per week to help to build fluency and develop sight reading skills. It is also important to remember to ask simple questions as you go as this will help children's comprehension. These could be about what has just happened, how a character is feeling, why they choose to do something or what might happen next. It is also important to discuss new vocabulary with children.
Phonics
It is very important that children regularly recap the learnt phonemes from their phonic sessions in school. This helps children overlearn the phonemes and supports them in recognising the phoneme as graphemes which not only supports fluency in reading but is really important for writing too. Each term, we will send home a sheet that details the graphemes your child needs to practise. Please choose two or three at a time to focus on.
