Take a look at the Medium Term curriculum plans below to see what we are learning about this term.
Phonics & Reading
Read Write Inc. is our phonics scheme which teaches children the sounds in English, the letters that represent them, and how to form the letters when writing. Read Write Inc. Phonics includes reading books written using only the letters they have learnt at each level (and a small number of separately taught tricky words). The children will quickly feel confident and successful.
Each week we take home books to share and enjoy - we choose 2 of our own books- one from our school library and one from "The 50 recommended reads". Please see attachment below.
Children who have completed Grey Level in Read Write Inc. will move on to Pathways to Read which focuses more on comprehension.
PE
We do PE each Monday and Friday afternoon - Please come to school dressed for PE.
Certificates
In Let Your Light Shine Worship on Fridays, one child receives a "Let Your Light Shine" certificate for their hard work.
One child is also chosen for their "Handwriting and Presentation". Ethos group award our VIP Certificates (Values in Practice for when children have been spotted showing Thankfulness, Love, Respect, Forgiveness, Perseverance and Kindness.

Forest School
Once every 4 weeks we go out to Forest School on a Friday afternoon with Mrs Davies instead of PE. We get to spend time outside in nature, exploring, take safe risks, and building confidence through practical activities. It’s a brilliant way to help children enjoy learning and grow – both in character and skills – while connecting with the world around them.
