Welcome to Jellyfish!

Reception Children

Welcome to Jellyfish! We will mainly be communicating with you via the digital learning platform, Seesaw. Information has been sent home regarding this and you should each have your own logins. We will keep you updated on topics and events via this platform rather than the website. We will also begin to introduce our phonics programme, Sounds Write. We will be providing more information regarding this via Seesaw.

Year One Children

This term’s topic is “Castles and Dragons” which is history based. Your children may like to find out more about this at home with you and they are welcome to bring in any relevant books or artefacts linked to our topic.

We continue to develop our number skills using a variety of different methods and will continue to focus on a thorough understanding of numbers to ten, including subitising, number recognition and ordering. We will have a focus on 2D shapes.

Reading

We are still running the reading challenge to win 'Orlando the Owl'. Please read with your child at least 5 times a week. It is so important for your child to have a good quality reading session to help them become a fluent and confident reader. Don't forget to write in the reading record to say you have read. We keep a record of reading to enable us to award certificates for reading 5 times during the week. The class in school with the highest percentage of readers will win Orlando Owl for the week. We will be continuing with the medals – bronze for reading for one complete term, silver for two and gold for all year.
