Bay 2025 - 2026
Miss Isabella Watts
Welcome to Bay Class!
Autumn Term
Our topic for the first half term is ‘Vikings’, this will incorporate a lot of our foundation subjects that will sit alongside our Maths, English, Science, PSHE, PE and Computing bespoke teaching.
In our English and Communication sessions our current focus story is ‘How to be a Viking’. From this focus story we will build our communication, reading and writing skills and confidence. It will also link well with our PSHE work too where we look to develop our understanding of how we communicate with and support our friends.
In our maths sessions, we will be working on number and place value.
Throughout each day we will weave in our personal targets and aim to make our learning fun!
Spring Term
We have an exciting and busy term ahead, packed with lots of learning and opportunities to grow together!
In Science, we’ll be exploring plants and living things, discovering what they need to grow and how they change over time. Our PSHE lessons will focus on taking care of the environment, helping children understand how small actions can make a big difference to our world.
In RE, we’ll be exploring Islam, learning about key beliefs, celebrations, and what is important to Muslims, encouraging curiosity and respect for different faiths and cultures.
Our English work is inspired by the classic tale of Aladdin, using the story to develop reading, writing, and imagination. In Maths, we’ll be building confidence with fractions and positional direction, using practical and hands-on activities to support understanding.
We’re also excited to continue Forest School sessions with Julie, where children can explore, learn, and develop skills through outdoor play and discovery.
Alongside this, our communication sessions will support children in developing their social and interaction skills, helping them to build confidence, express themselves, and work positively with others.
It’s shaping up to be a fantastic term full of learning, creativity, and fun
Key information:
- Please ensure your child has a full PE kit in school. Please can you ensure that all PE kit and spare clothing is named, thank you.
- Please send in waterproofs and wellies if they are not already in school, so we are always prepared for whatever the weather brings us. A spare set of clothes, including underwear and socks is also really useful.
- It is great to hear about what your child has been up to over a weekend, so any information about this would be great as it helps bring our communication to life.
