Beautifully British:
In Autumn Term, Sunshine classes will be exploring Great Britain. The children will find out about the countries, capital cities and customs of Great Britain . We will also look at Britain’s soldiers in WW2. Children will focus their geographical skills on their locational knowledge of the UK countries and capital cities, as well as mapping and direction.
Learning Logs
At the beginning of each term, a list of objectives and activities will be placed into the children’s learning log.
Please choose one task to complete each week. There are more objectives than the number of weeks so you have a wide range of activities and subject areas to choose from. If you would like to support your children at home, these objectives have been provided for that purpose but there is certainly no pressure to complete them all. The objectives are linked to the work covered in class during the term. Please send your child’s ‘Learning Log’ into school when they have completed a piece of work and we will return it with feedback.
Forest School
- Forest School will be on Fridays for both Sunshine 1 and Sunshine 2.
We are lucky enough that this year we are able to offer Forest School sessions all year round. Mrs Way will be teaching forest school to both classes every Friday. Please ensure your child wears suitable clothing, we will be outside in all weathers, (except high winds or thunder). This year, we would like children to bring their Forest School clothing into school with them in a named bag. Please see the ‘Forest School’ page for more information on suitable clothing.
We do lots of outdoor activities throughout the year so please provide your child with a pair of named wellies which we will keep outside of the classroom on our welly rack for easy access.
PE
- PE days for Sunshine 1 will be Mondays and Thursdays
- PE days for Sunshine 2 will be Mondays and Thursdays.
On PE days, your child will be required to come to school in their PE kit and wear it for the day. We will go outside for PE when the weather permits so please ensure your child wears a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt / fleece in a dark colour for the colder weather.
Reading
Bookbags will need to be brought into school daily and we will change the children’s book twice a week.

Need to get in touch?
Our class email addresses are below. Please use these for non-urgent queries and information, as we will not be able to check emails whilst we are teaching during the day. We ask that if you have something urgent to let us know please email the school office where it can be dealt with more quickly.
