Curriculum Overview
 
 Our curriculum overview gives information about what we are learning in each subject this term. 
 
What are we reading in Chestnut Class?
 
Each term we read books by our focus author. The books are available for the children to read in the class book corner and we read one book by the author as a whole class together.
 
This term our focus author is a bit different because it is actually two authors! We are currently reading books by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre. 
 
As a class we are reading the book 'Oliver and the Seawigs'.
 
 
 
PE

Our PE day is Tuesday and we are taught PE by our PE coach Mr Edwards. We ask that children come to school dressed in appropriate PE kit:

  • Black shorts/track suit bottoms
  • T-shirt in your house colour (red, green, blue, yellow) - no logos please
  • School jumper/cardigan 
  • Trainers/daps 

Earrings and watches MUST be REMOVED for all PE lessons.

Homework
 
We ask that all children try to read at least 3x a week and log their reading on our reading app 'Boom Reader'. At the start of the term, you will receive your spelling words for each week of the term. Please support your child with practising their weekly spellings at home. We do a short spelling test every Thursday during our spelling lesson.
 
Thank you for your support!
