King's Ford Infant School And Nursery

Wecome to Orange Class!

We hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday and are excited to start your new learning adventure in the summer term. Orange class are a mixed Year 1 and Year 2 class. There are currently 27 children in our class. I am Miss Carlton and our LSA is Miss Aliffe.

This term we will be learning about ‘How do living things survive in the ocean?’ We will be having lots of fun exploring and linking our learning around a teaching block based on science and art. We are going to find out about plants and animals that live in our oceans and other coastal features. We will also be visiting Cudmore Grove on Mersea Island on 25^th June to explore a coastal habitat. 

Our P.E. days are still on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please make sure that your child’s P.E. bag is in school with a white t-shirt, red shorts and plimsolls or trainers. For the second half of the term, we will have cricket lessons run by Centurion Community Cricket.

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 plant and animal themed ones to collect this term.

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

The end of Key Stage 1 SATs assessments for Year 2 pupils will begin on the week beginning 11^th May. This will include arithmetic, reasoning and reading papers. Please help the children do their best by making sure they get a good night’s sleep and have breakfast each morning.
