Welcome to Rabbit Class
In the Rabbit class, we welcome children into a stimulating, fun and creative classroom atmosphere. Our aim is for all children to be engaged, happy and enjoy their learning, allowing them to make progress and each their potential.
Our Team
Miss Capon will be your Class Teacher alongside Mrs Smith, the Teaching Assistant.
English
This term in English we will be looking at animal poems, adventure stories and recounts.
Reading
Reading will be taught in guided reading sessions where the children will discuss the meaning, context, character, phonics and grammar in a challenging text.
Reading is such an important skill; it really unlocks all areas of the curriculum. We would ask parents to hear their child read daily, 5-10 minutes a night is all that is needed. As well as supporting your child read the words it is also useful to ask questions and check your child's understanding of the text.
Maths
We have several topics to cover in Maths. We will be strengthening our understanding of written methods for both addition and subtraction. We will begin to consider the place value in 4 digit numbers. We will develop our understanding of shapes by naming different 3D shapes and their properties. We will also be learning about right angles, horizontal, perpendicular and parallel lines. We will learn about counting in tenths and finding tenths of amounts. Finally, we will continue developing our understanding of the times tables and division facts.
Science
In Science we will be learning about plants and will conduct a variety of experiments to test key areas of our topic.
Topic
Our topic for this term is World War 2. We will be learning about how the war started and what life was like during the time. We will compare life during the war time to our life today.
R.E.
This term in RE our key question will be ‘How does Jesus show authority?’ We will explore different bible stories and discuss how Jesus shows authority in these stories. We will also discuss key figures in our lives that show authority.
P.E.
Our focus in PE this term will be Swimming and Tennis. We shall be learning to use a variety of skills and will evaluate and improve our own performances.
The Rabbits will have P.E. twice a week on Monday and Wednesday. We will be swimming on Monday morning. Please leave P.E. bags in school all week, just in case an opportunity for an extra lesson is possible.
Homework
The Rabbit class use Learning Logs for their homework. Tasks set are based on what we have covered that week and it is up to the children how they show their understanding. Homework will be handed out on Friday to be returned by the following Wednesday.
Parent Partnership
We strongly believe in working closely with parents to ensure all children have a positive and successful experience in their education. We welcome any information you can share about your child and their individual learning experiences outside of school. This can be easily shared through the Class Dojo communication tool. To keep you informed on specific activities in the school, your teacher will also use the Class Dojo to share news and photos of school events.
If you are interested in supporting the class with your time for reading or a particular skill you have, please contact the class teacher to see when would be a suitable time for you to visit the class. We are very grateful for any assistance.
