Teaching Assistants – Mrs Cole (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon) and Mrs Watkins (Thursday and Friday)
Welcome to Monnow’s class page. As you are aware, Class Monnow is made up of Year 1 and Year 2 and the children have got off to a great start to the Autumn term. They have settled in so well and are very much into the new routines of the day. This term will be focusing on, encouraging and supporting the children to understand the importance of our value, honesty.
In English both year groups will be looking at a range of books, both fiction and non-fiction and writing a range of genres based on these books. They have looked at poetry and written their own poem as part of National Poetry Day.
As part of our Phonic sessions, Y1 and Y2 will be taught separately focusing on a sound that is relevant to their year group. This sound will be taught all week, along with the spelling patterns and rules for that sound. Year 2 will have their new words relating to that week’s sound, stuck into their reading diary and an information sheet will also be sent home for you to look at to help with supporting your child with their new sound. During these sessions both year groups will be practising handwriting, focusing on the correct letter formation.
In Maths Year 1 will focus on place value, number bonds to 10 and addition and subtraction. Year 2 will also be focusing on place value, number bonds to 20 and addition and subtraction. t
In Science the children are looking at Plants with the children working scientifically, gathering and recording data.
In History our topic is, ‘How am I making history?’ The children have created their own timeline of key events in their lives, so far.
In PSHE ‘Being me in my world’ is our topic and our big question In R.E. this term is, ‘Who do Christians say made the world?’
I am always available after school, or you can make an appointment at your convenience, if you have any concerns.
Thank you for your continuing support in your child’s education.
Mrs K Adjei
Monday – children come to school in outdoor P.E. kit.
Wednesday – forest school kit needed. This should consist of long-sleeved top, long trousers, wellies, waterproof/old coat. This is to protect the children from brambles, nettles etc., and from insects.
Thursday – children arrive to school in indoor P.E kit. As the colder weather is fast approaching children may need to arrive to school wearing their outdoor P.E kit over their shorts and t-shirt.
It is very important that children wear the correct kit for the above lessons.
Your child must bring their reading book and diary to school. every day. Please try to read with them daily, as those precious minutes spent reading together will be so beneficial to their learning.
Don’t forget to sign the reading diary, as this will count towards earning reading certificates.
Please provide your child with a drink, preferably water and a healthy snack. Fruit is provided daily.
Have a go at these links to keep your learning going.
