Cherry Tree Class 2025-26

Welcome to Term 2!

We have so many exciting plans in the weeks ahead! Autumn is one of our favourite terms as we lead up to the excitement of Christmas!

The theme for our learning this term is ‘Let's Remember’ and we will be asking ourselves 'Why is it important to remember?' For the first two weeks in History we will be focussing on Remembrance Day and finding out about the significance of the poppy.

In Science we will be learning about Materials and their properties and we are looking forward to some real hands on experience through our last two sessions to Forest School before our break until the Spring.  

 In RE, we will be thinking about Christmas and gaining a deeper understanding of the Christmas Story through our Nativity play. We will try and answer the question ‘Why is Christmas important to Christians?' 

In PSHE we will be thinking about 'Health and Wellbeing' and we will also focus on being EPIC by demonstrating 'reflectiveness' and 'honesty'. We will move on to developing our sewing skills in Design Technology by joining two pieces of fabric together to make a hand puppet. 

Our PE sessions for the Term 6 will continue to be on a Wednesday. This term our focus will be dance.

In Literacy we will be reading the story 'Rapunzel' by Bethan Woollvin and using this as a basis for all our learning. In addition, the children have a daily phonics session where we focus on learning sounds, reading and writing. We will continue to read and write words containing all Set 1, 2 and 3 sounds (including reading 'alien' or nonsense words).

In Maths we will continue to deepen our understanding of numbers to 10 including recall of number bonds odd, even and doubles. We will keep counting, reading and writing our numbers up to 10 in numbers and words as well as looking at part whole models and using the symbols for greater / less than and equals. Please remember to keep using our Numbots App too!

For more detail on the rest of our learning, please see our termly plan and knowledge organisers below.

As always, please get in touch via Class Dojo if you have any queries.

Thank you for your continued support.
