Welcome to Seedling Class - Year 1 and Year 2

Welcome to Seedlings class.  

In Seedlings we will continue to promote a Growth Mindset to develop positive attitudes towards learning and encourage the children to keep trying even when they find something challenging.

Our Topic this term is Out of this World! - We will be sharing both fiction and non-fiction books to explore and learn about Space and Planets.

This term we will also be learning about the birth of Jesus, learning what Christmas means to Christians through stories and our Nativity play.

Please note our PE days this term are  on Wednesday and Friday. Please ensure your child wears their PE kit and brings a water bottle into school on those days.

Home Learning each term will be a selection of tasks linked to our Topic.  Your child can choose to complete them in any order.  Once completed we will celebrate and share in class.  Home Learning is displayed in the classroom to support our learning.  Thank you for the wonderful contributions in Term 1, these were displayed on our Topic board and supported all the children's learning.

Times Table Rock Stars can be accessed at home, please keep practising! Children have their log in, in their contact books.  Please include maths in your every day, helping the children understand they use maths everywhere.

Reading books and contact books are needed in school everyday. Please read and enjoy story times together, this will support your child's learning to read and write.  There are some phonics links below to support reading, please ensure your child practises regularly.  Learning to read supports their access to learning across all the curriculum.

Out Rainbow Bears have been a great success in Term 1 with the children.  If you are a Sedley Star, Rainbow Rosie or Rainbow Ralph will go home with your child for the weekend.  Upon return to school the children share their adventures with their friends.  This can be recorded in photos or drawings.  The experience contributes to celebrating success and builds confidence through speech and language opportunities when sharing.

If you would like to contact us, please use the contact book or do email me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support and we are always here to help.

Celebrating Term 1's Learning - Super Me and Real Super Heroes! 

We had a wonderful time celebrating our Super Hero learning.  We performed our Superhero dance and sang our school song to our families.
