Hello!
Welcome to our website!
Welcome to our website!
Teacher – Mrs Adjei and Mrs Generalovic (PPA cover Wednesday afternoon)
Teaching Assistants – Mrs Cole, Mrs Watkins and Mrs Ju Jones.
Welcome back after what I hope was a lovely Easter break.
It’s hard to believe we are now in the Summer Term, after what has been a very busy year, so far.
As you are all aware, Class Monnow is now made up of Year 1 and Year 2 and as the first week back has shown, the children have adapted well to the change to their mornings. Afternoons stay as they were before the Easter break.
In English both year groups will be continuing to look at a range of books, both fiction and non-fiction and writing a range of genres based on these books. As always, the children will be focusing on using their phonic knowledge to help with spelling and concentrating on the presentation of their work by practicing handwriting, daily.
In Maths Year 1 will focus on Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Money and Time. In Year 2, the emphasis will be on Fractions, Time, Statistics and Position and Direction.
In Science the children are looking at Life Cycles of Animals, including Humans. The children will work scientifically, gathering and recording data.
In History our topic is, ‘What is a Monarch?’ We will be looking at kings of the past and our current king.
In our Geography lessons we will be finding out, ‘What is it like to live in Shanghai?’ In previous Geography work, the children have looked at and named the seven continents. They have also found out about some of the features of living in a hot or a cold place. This new topic will help build on this previous knowledge of the world.
This term, we are very lucky to once again have a music teacher come into school, every Tuesday afternoon, to support our Music lessons. The children are enjoying being introduced to and playing new instruments.
In D.T. the children will be creating a Moving Monster and in Art they will continue to develop their colour mixing skills.
In PSHE we will be focusing on relationships and our big question In R.E. this term is, ‘What makes some places sacred to believers?’
I am always available after school, or you can make an appointment at your convenience, if you wish to speak to me.

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. Even in hot weather children are required to wear long trousers and long-sleeved tops. This is to protect the children from brambles, nettles etc., and from insects. It is very important children have the correct kit.
Thursday – all children need their swimming kit. This is to include goggles and a swimming hat for all girls.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, children should bring their
to school every day for their own protection.
Reading
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.
