Welcome to Fleming Class

Fun Fact about me: I lived in Australia for seven years until I missed Cornwall too much so I moved back home to be closer to family and the beautiful Cornish beaches. I have taught in Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka but in my opinion Cornwall tops them all!

English
This term, we will be consolidating our accuracy of letter formation and use of phonics through caption and sentence writing based upon our traditional tales. We will start to implement capital letters and full stops in our writing.
Reading
We teach reading through Little Wandle. We continue to develop our reading skills, including decoding, prosody and comprehension and the children will read with an adult at least three times a week. We encourage a love of reading through engaging in a range of different book types and genres. We need your support with this and ask you to read 5 times a week and record this in your child's reading record. This will support the celebration of reading through our 'Reading Rockets'.
Please ensure your child's book and reading record are in school every day. Books are changed every Monday.
Maths
In maths, we continue to develop our understanding of Place Value, addition and subtraction from 0-20 and shape.
PE
Our P.E. days are Monday and Friday. Please can your child wear their kits to school on these days.
Home activities
These activities will include weekly Little Wandle 'Tricky words' alongside termly Maths KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts).
