Welcome to Hawthorn Class
The children in Hawthorn Class are Reception and Year 1.
In Hawthorn Class our teacher is Mrs Bott, who is supported by teaching assistants Mrs Neale, Mrs Ladd and Mrs Cozens throughout the week.
This year we have 17 children in Hawthorn Class.
We love to learn in our classroom and the spacious, adjoining outdoor area.
We use our outside area every day and enjoy spending time exploring in our garden.
Summer Term 2024
Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a wonderful break over Easter.
This term our learning theme is 'What's Your Favourite Story?' We will be reading a variety of different texts, including Jack and the Beanstalk, You Choose and The Enormous Turnip. Our class readers this term will include Little Red Riding Hood, The Emperor's New Clothes, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince and The Ugly Duckling.
We will continue to develop our knowledge of phonics using Read Write Inc and this will help support our spelling and reading skills. During this term the Reception children will continue to learn to blend the sounds together to read words, with the help of our Frog called Fred.
In Maths we will use NCETM to support the children when learning about numbers in fun and exciting ways. We continue to foster a love of Maths in Hawthorn Class this year which will give the children good foundations when they move through the school. We encourage the children to investigate and reason about their maths, talking about what they are doing, why they have chosen this method and how they could change their approach when needed.
In Science we will be learning about plants and what they need to stay healthy.
In PSHE our topics are ‘Relationships' and 'Changing Me'. We will be talking about ourselves, different relationships in our lives and how our bodies change and develop as we get older.
For our Computing we will be learning about computing systems and networks, exploring hardware and creating media and digital imagery.
We will be learning about history beyond living memory by finding out about the great fire of London and its impact on firefighting.
We will be making marvellous marks in Art and making moving books and investigating textiles in DT.
In Music we will be learning about musical stories and timbre and rythmic patterns.
We are looking forward to another exciting term!
Look at our learning!
