Reading Rangers

                                      Welcome to Reading Rangers class with Miss Jones and Mrs Spencer                                                                                                                                               

We are looking forward to lots of new learning opportunities over the coming weeks.  
In the Bright Lights, Big City project, your child will learn about the countries that make up the United Kingdom, including their location on a map, capital cities and some of their physical and human features as well as famous London landmarks. The children will have the opportunity to do map work, using positional and directional language to plan routes around London. We will learn about other capital cities around the world, including Kuala Lumpur, and compare how they are similar and different to London. They will research the cause and impact of the Great Fire of London with the help of a Special visitor, Samuel Pepys to help us uncover how and why the fire started. 

PE 
Our P.E sessions this half term will take place on Monday and Wednesday. The Monday lesson will be outside so please send your child with suitable outdoor clothing on this day including trainers, a long sleeved top and full length trousers. The Wednesday lesson will be inside.  Please could you ensure that earrings are removed on these days so that your child is able to take part in the lesson as we cannot remove these in school. Thank you.  
 
Reading 
Book bags will be needed in school every day and will be changed in our class library every week.  
Homework   
A pack of spellings has been sent home for your child to practise weekly. The Year 1 spelling test will take place every Thursday. As well as weekly spellings , children are expected to read at home daily.  Please encourage your child to take part in the phonics videos that are sent home weekly as part of their reading practise. 
Additional maths, phonics or topic homework may be given weekly also. 
 
If you have any queries about anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.  
 Thank you 
  
Miss Jones
