WELCOME TO BUTTERFLIES
Our Class Prayer
Dear Lord,
Thank you for my day,
I’ve worked hard and had some play.
As I go to sleep tonight,
Keep me safe till morning light.
Amen
Class Teacher - Mrs B King
Dear Butterfly Family,
I hope you all had a lovely half-term and welcome to Term 4!
Our Learning Journey this term will be based on the Moon and Space.
Our Over arching question for our Learning Journey is:
I wonder what's out there?
We will be using the following main texts to explore our question:
Our value this term is Forgiveness. This value will be incorpated into our curriculum.
In RE this term, we will be looking at Why is Easter an important time for Christians?
'Please see the Knowledge Organisers below for this term's learning.
We also use a Heartsmart Resource at school. This term our theme is 'Don't hold on to what's wrong' - we work very hard to be 'heartsmart' .
HEARTSMART
Heartsmart is a culture-changing resource that is used throughout the whole school and leads out from our worship.
It is about building up character, emotional health and resilience founded in Christian love.
EYFS Long-term Plan 2023-2024 and Knowledge Organisers
A Knowledge Organiser is a document to explain what we will be covering in class. This also enables you as parents to go over new vocabulary with your children and to discuss your child's learning with them at home.

Phonics, Reading & Maths
Reception (EYFS) children:
Reading books will be changed three times a week. Please hear your child read and write a comment in the comment box in your child's reading record.
On other nights, please go through your child's phonic games with them.
Reading for Pleasure - your child will be able to choose a book from the class library three times a week to bring home to share with you. This is not for them to read, it is for you to read to them and discuss.
Tricky words - these will be checked weekly. Please go through these daily with your child.
MATHS
EYFS - Please ask the children to notice and recognise numbers and shapes in the outside environment. Ask them to point out numbers on front doors when you are out and about. Ask them to find you certain numbers when out shopping. Can the children tell you how much something costs?
Can your child recognise 2D and 3D shapes in the environment? What shapes objects made up of?
This will help your child improve their number skills.
Many thanks
