Welcome to Puffins class! 

This term our topic has a history focus ‘ World War 2’. We will be finding out about WW2, with a focus on the key knowledge:

The dates of WW2:  1939-1945

UK and USA were part of the Allied forces.  Germany, Japan and Italy were part of the Axis forces.

Children who lived in large cities were evacuated to the countryside.

 

Our previous topics have included:

In term 1, a history focus: Ancient Egypt. We found out about life in Ancient Egypt and how historians learn about the past. 

In term 2, a DT focus: Light up Christmas cards. We designed and made our own Christmas cards with light up elements.

 

Mr. Smith teaches the class on Wednesdays when I am released to fulfil some of my leadership responsibilities. You can still contact me via ClassDojo on those days and I am often on the gate!

All of our families are joined to our Class Dojo – make sure you keep checking on this for updates on what we’ve been getting up to!

Key information:

  • PE days will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays when children can come into school in their PE kit.  Please can children wear a plain white t-shirt and black/navy shorts (no football strips please) for PE.  When the weather is cold, children may also want to wear a sweatshirt and jogging bottoms too. Children should also have a coat in school if the weather requires one, which is likely to be every day at this time of year.
  • The children have a KIRFs target and these will be tested on a Friday.
  • Children also have weekly spellings.  These will be tested on a Tuesday. 
  • Please try to read regularly at home, encouraging a love for reading and books (of all type and genre) creates strong learning foundations.
