Summer 2 Newsletter
Welcome to the latest edition of the Class One newsletter! Please click on the link below. Autumn 1 2026 - Dinosaur Planet Newsletter We hope you have all had a wonderful, relaxing summer break and are ready for an exciting new school year. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back and can't wait to share all of the fantastic learning experiences we have planned. This half term, our topic is Dinosaur Planet! The children will travel back in time to discover what life was like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. They will learn about the different landscapes and habitats dinosaurs lived in, what they ate, and explore the theories behind their extinction. As part of our history learning, we will find out about the famous fossil hunter Mary Anning and discover how her incredible discoveries have helped us to understand life in prehistoric times. In Science, we will be learning about animals, including humans. The children will identify and name common animals that are birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and invertebrates. They will also investigate the differences between carnivores, herbivores and omnivores, learning about the diets of different animals and why they eat certain foods. We are looking forward to a fun-filled term of discovery, exploration and adventure on Dinosaur Planet! We are excited to share all the amazing things happening in Class One this half term. Check out our Instagram posts. Stay tuned for updates, announcements, and important information via Facebook, Seesaw and the school newsletter. |

The idea behind this homework is that you and your child will have a go at things together and record what you have done on paper or digitally via Seesaw. You can choose any way that you would like to record your experiences, for example, you can use pictures, photographs, writing, cartoons or you could stick any souvenirs in your book. You can also choose the order in which you complete the challenges.
Please don’t worry if you do not get chance to complete all of the challenges, they are designed for you to pick and choose which activities you would like to do with your child and that fit around your family life. We do hope that you can complete as many challenges as possible so that your child can share their successes. The children will have chance to share their work during the topic during our speaking and listening sessions. We hope that you enjoy helping your child with this exciting project. |

The most important way you can help your child is to show an interest in what they do at school, ensure they attend regularly, eat a nutritious breakfast and get plenty of sleep. You can really help your child by talking to them about what they have done at school but some children are more forthcoming than others. To help you support your child, our class pages have an overview of what your child will be learning each term as well as ideas to help specific to their class and topics.
Weekly spellings are uploaded to Seesaw for the Year 1 and 2 children, to be tested on a WEDNESDAY. Please take a look at these each week and help your child to spell the words independently. |
Homework Challenges — Please use this to access the homework and spellings online. Each child will receive a homework challenge menu. There will be enough tasks to complete at least 1 per week based on our topic. You can choose any way that you would like to record your experiences, for example, you can use pictures, photographs, writing, cartoons or you could stick souvenirs in your book. You can also choose the order in which you complete the challenges. Please don’t worry if you do not get chance to complete all of the challenges, they are designed for you to pick and choose which activities you would like to do with your child and that fit around your family life. Each week we will choose a selection of work to be presented to the class to develop social and communication skills. We do hope that you can complete as many challenges as possible so that your child can share their successes with their peers and school staff.
