All about Tiger Class

In Tiger Class we always try our best and have a go even when it's tricky. We love a challenge and understand it's ok to make mistakes, that just shows we're learning! We are kind to all our friends in Tiger Class and we like to help each other. We're all superstars!

Our Learning Challenge for this term is...

Our Learning this half term will be based around the theme of 'Where the wild things are'. In Understanding the World we will be learning about plants and growing our own beanstalk! In Past and Present will also  be learning about the monarch Queen Elizabeth II. In Expressive Arts and Design we will be learning about the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. We will then create our own daffodil drawing inspired by her artwork.  During Music sessions, we will be following the Charanga Music scheme. We will listen and respond to different styles of music and explore and create (pulse, rhythm and pitch) using voices and instruments. In Computing we will be learning what an algorithm is and will practise our programming skills by using the beebots. In RE, the F2 children will learn about the Christian celebration Easter.

Our special stories are ‘Dinosaurs Love Underpants’, ‘Are The Dinosaurs Dead, Dad?' and 'The Inventures of Noodle and Titch: The Case of the Perfect Pet Popper-Upper'. We are very excited to continue our Drawing Club Journey. Each week we will read one of the stories and then create our own characters and adventures based on them. We will use our phonics knowledge to write labels and codes linked to our drawings.  In our daily phonics sessions, we will recap the Phase 3 letter sounds and how to blend and segment these sounds in words. We will be applying our Phonic knowledge to write simple sentences such as 'It is a..' and 'I can see..'. 

We take a mastery approach to maths. Focusing on a number over two weeks to gain an in-depth knowledge and understanding of each number. We will be counting, recognising and ordering these numbers. We will also be finding numbers that are one more/less and learning how to partition the numbers to help us to add and subtract them. We will also learn to name and talk about 2D and 3D shapes and their properties.

In their weekly P.E sessions the F2 children will take part in Balanceabilty sessions. This is where we will develop our skills when using the balance bikes. The children will also be taking part in Chinese dancing. They will join in with daily wake & shake and yoga to help to improve their core strength, balance and coordination. The children also have access to a wide range of ourdoor equipment which they can access on a daily basis during free flow.       

Our Jigsaw theme this half term is ‘Healthy Me’ and the children will be discussing how we can lead a healthy lifestyle.

Our British Value focus is Mutual Tolerance. We will learn about this through a range of stories and by discussing our school rules in more detail.

We will continue to take part in our Well-Being Wednesday sessions to help us to learn how we can look after our well-being and mental health.
