I volunteered

Yesterday we had meet the teacher the teachers from both classes went through some of the things that the kids would be learning...

...it was supposed to be held in Evies classroom but was in the small hall instead (so no sneaking a look at any of Evies work) :(.

They will be doing fairytales (with a fairytale day when the kids can come in dressed as fairytale characters) and learn how to do things like make candles :)

I have already offered to be a parent helper...

They also said that an estate agent would come and visit and the kids make castles (for a princess) and the estate agent judges which the best one is (whether that is the same day or not I dont know) :)

And they learn about farms and have a farmers market at the end of term (and we get to buy things that they have made) :)

They also said about mastery (I heard about it on my perfect country - this episode) and about teaching the kids about different sounds and the different ways they are spelt.

And about the end of year phonics test and that they spend all year learning the words.

And there is also a walk around the local area next Wednesday (not tomorrow), and they asked for parent helpers who have had a dbs check so I said that I would like to do it :)

All those things sound wonderful and gives you plenty of time to find a fairytale outfit. Lovely you get to help on the walk too.

It's good to know what they will be covering throughout the term. I'm hoping that once Lily's class have settled in we will get something similar. Enjoy the walk. X

Eileen - thank goodness it coincides with halloween :)

Jules - we used to get information each term about what they would be learning in the coming weeks.

Im sure that Lilys school will do something similar :)
