King's Ford Infant School And Nursery

Wecome to Orange Class!

Happy new year everyone and welcome back to school for the spring term. We are Orange class and we are a mixed Year 1 and Year 2 class. There are currently 26 children in our class. Our teacher is Miss. Carlton and our LSA is Miss. Aliffe

This term we will be learning about Tudor history as we ask the question, ‘Who were the Tudors?’ We will become more familiar with daily life in Tudor times, explore Tudor buildings and the reigns of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. We will investigate local evidence of the Tudor period. We will also be taking part in a special Tudor experience day in school on the 25th of February.

In Science we will be exploring everyday materials and comparing them. We will be investigating the properties of materials and their suitability for different products and purposes in real life. We will be carrying out a wide range of experiments in class as we test different materials for their strength, waterproofing and other properties.

Our P.E. days are now Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure that your P.E. bag is in school with a white t-shirt, red shorts and plimsolls or trainers. It is also useful to have tracksuit trousers/jogging bottoms now that the weather is colder.

Please practise reading at home with your child who can earn mini certificates every time they have read three times or more. We have lots of Tudor themed ones to collect this term.

Please continue to read the Arbour fortnightly emails that have optional home learning links and activities to explore. We also have a home learning grid full of activities to try at home. We would love to see what activities you have been doing so please send the projects in or take a photo.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to speak to me before or after school.

Thanks for reading!

Miss Carlton and the Orange Class team
