Learning:
Seesaw
In order to capture our pupils' learning we often record activities through photos or videos. You can access these through an individual, unique code specifically for your child by downloading the app.
Ask your teacher for your child's code.
Topics:
Autumn 1 – Incredible Me!
Our topic this term is called ‘Incredible Me!’. Through a range of fiction and non-fiction books, we will be learning about what makes us who we are- our true unique selves. We will learn about emotions and how our actions can affect others. We will be discussing what makes us happy and how we can make others happy. We will be looking at well-being and coping strategies when we are feeling overwhelmed, exploring our senses, investigating healthy and unhealthy foods and finding out how we can continue to grow as healthy, confident individuals.
Below is the homework grid for this topic. Children can complete as many as they like - which we will look at throughout the topic and during our Fabulous Finish!
Reading in Year 1/2 Glas.
Reading at home is very important. Reading for just 10 minutes a day can make a BIG difference. Each week we will be sending reading books home for you to read with your child. Please comment on your child's reading ability in the yellow book before sending the books back to school to be changed. We ask for reading books to be brought in on a Wednesday. They will be sent back home on Friday.
Giglets is an online reading programme where your children can access ebooks that will be assigned to your child. Each child has their own personal login that will be sent home. Please contact the class teacher if you are unsure of your child's login.
Other useful links for reading at home with your children:
