Welcome to Squirrels!

We just wanted to let everyone know what our new topics are this year....

• In Literacy we are reading Little Red Riding Hood. We will be writing key words from the story and answering simple questions about the text.
• In Maths we are looking at shape. learning their names and identifying how many sides they have. We will also be continuing our target box work.
• In Science we are learning all about 'health and growth' and will be looking at how people and animals change from being babies to adults.
• Our theme this term is 'Ancient Romans'. This will be lots of fun because we will be dressing up as Romans and tasting some food that they had at Roman banquets.
• We will also be doing lots of other activities including Art, DT, Music, Cookery and sensory sessions!

What a lot of work!!

Hello and welcome to Squirrels Class page! 

We are a Key Stage 1 and 2 class and our names are Bobby, Matthew, Jayden, Jersey, Harvey, Jack, Conrad and Ethan. Our teacher is Gemma and our teaching assistants are Louise, Lise and Gill. We also have Hazel who helps us over lunchtime.

We are a lively and happy little class who work really hard and also enjoy making lots of mess! You can look at our timetable to see what we get up to each day. Each half term we focus on a different story and do lots of reading and writing activities around its theme. We also do lots of hard work on numbers and problem solving. We look at a different topic each half term and have lots of fun engaging in sensory activities linked to the topic! This year we are going to start working at our own workstations and following visual prompts for activities.

Our favourite activities are reading, sensory phonics, number songs on Education City, outside play, Science and Theme! All of the activities that we enjoy are activities where we get to explore using all of our different senses – especially if we get to taste something nice!

We are all excited to be back at school learning lots of new things and hope you will enjoy looking at photos of all of our adventures - so keep checking back on our page as we will update it as often as possible!

Love from
