Dear Butterfly Family,
Welcome to Term 6!
Our first Learning Journey this term will be based on
'Through the Porthole'
Our Over arching question for our first Learning Journey is:
'If you could go anywhere, where would you go?'
We will be looking at Pirates and they places they go. We will also be reading lots of other stories about travel, such as The Snail and the Whale and Little turtle and the song of the sea.
We will be using the following main text:
Our second Learning Journey is
'Wonderful World'
Our overarching question is:
'How can we look after our world?'
We will be dealing with Environmental issues – pollution/recycling
We will be using the following main text:
We will be reading lots of other stories about looking after our world, such as Commotion in the Ocean, Recycle Michael and Clean Up!
Our school value this term is Hope.
This value will be incorpated into our curriculum.
In RE this term, we will be looking at Other Faiths. We will be looking at the question 'Why is learning to do good deeds so important to Jewish people?'
Please see the Knowledge Organisers below for Learning Journeys and RE.
ZONES OF REGULATION
At Peasmarsh, we use The Zones of Regulation to help the children regulate their own behaviours.
Remember! Its not wrong to be in any of the zones - we all experience different emotions at different time. It's about recognising our emotions and being able to do something about them.
We also use a Heartsmart Resource at school. This term our theme is 'Fake is a Mistake'. We work very hard to be 'heartsmart' .
HEARTSMART
Heartsmart is a culture-changing resource that is used throughout the whole school and leads out from our worship.
It is about building up character, emotional health and resilience founded in Christian love.
Knowledge Organisers
A Knowledge Organiser is a document to explain what we will be covering in class. This also enables you as parents to go over new vocabulary with your children and to discuss your child's learning with them at home.

PE
Please remember to send your Year One child into school with their PE kit every Monday. PE kits will come home on Fridays. For Term One, Reception children will be doing PE first thing on Monday mornings, therefore they may come in their PE kit, but bring their uniforms in their PE bags so they can get changed after their lesson. PE kits can then stay in school for the week.
Please label EVERYTHING clearly with your child's name.
Thank you
