Woodpeckers
Welcome to the Woodpeckers' class!
This is a mixed Year 1/2 class where we combine teacher-led and independent activities. We have COOL (choose our own learning) jobs for the children to complete every week alongside challenges.
This spring term we are focusing on the book 'Traction Man' by Mini Grey. Our learning across the curriculum will link to the story, which will be revealed slowly. Therefore, we ask that you do not tell your child this half term's text or rush out and buy the book. This is to ensure that learning at Ranelagh continues to be new and exciting and captivates children's interests.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO VIEW THE PLANS BELOW DETAILING WHAT WE'LL BE LEARNING.
Some handy reminders:
- PE is on a WEDNESDAY and a THURSDAY (both indoor and outdoor kit is needed).
- Homework should be completed weekly - choosing from one of the 9 activities for this half term. Homework books and journals are reviewed on a Friday.
- Everyone should read at home and record their reading in their journals at least 3 times per week.
- Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school every day.
