Claremont Special

P3

Welcome back to Term 1!

 

Welcome back to the start of a brand new school year! I hope you managed to find some sun over the summer and enjoyed lots of family time. 

 

Term 1 Theme

We start the year with a two week theme called All About Me. We will take this opportunity to get to know the students' likes and dislikes and we will be making some self portrait collages. We will then move onto our main theme The Seasons. We will be using two books; The Little Red Hen and Pumpkin Soup to support our learning. We will be paying close attention to the changing weather and using leaves to print and make pictures. 

In maths we will continue to learn about shape and number with various sensory materials such as sand, pasta, water, slime! 

In our PE lessons we will be doing rugby with the Bristol Bears who will be coming into school to run inclusive, fun sessions every week. We will also continue our sessions in the hall where we will develop our work balance and coordination by introducing some new games. This term will also include our parent open afternoon. Please keep an eye out for a letter inviting you into school. 

RSE  

In our RSE lessons our topic is My Body.  We will be learning about the different parts of our bodies and how boys and girls are different. A more detailed letter explaining the structure and content of these lessons will be out soon. 

Swimming 

Swimming sessions will remain on Monday afternoons. Please supply suitable pads for the water. 

Home-school contact

Please use the home-school diary or email either of us with any questions and updates. If you need to speak to us for any reason please phone the school office on 01173 533622 Henleaze campus

If your child is going to be absent for any reason we really appreciate an early morning phone call to the office by 8.30am and a message left on the answering machine, as this greatly helps us plan our staffing. Thank you. 

Reminder of what’s needed in school

  • Change of clothes kept in school, useful for any messy days.
  • A supply of pads (nappies) , wet wipes and creams if needed. (We will write in your diary if these are running low.)
  • Snacks and squash if your child needs these.
  • Clothes that are appropriate for the weather, especially during outdoor learning sessions.

Earwig

We will be continuing to add photos and comments about what your child gets up to at school If you have any access issues do let us know. We would love to see what your child has been getting up to over the summer if you could send us some photos!
