Year 1 Learning Narrative – Summer Term 2019

The children will be welcomed back to the Summer term with our new topic ‘Underwater Adventure’. This topic will really spark the children’s imaginations with an under the sea and Neverland focus it will engage all learners. We will be creating our own maps to get to the beach in geography and learning about the history behind the famous story of Peter Pan. The children will be writing their own stories about an underwater creature and learning all about our wonderful town by the sea. We hope to finish the topic with a performance to parents of our own take on the popular Peter Pan story.

At White Meadows Primary we use the Read Write Inc. phonics programme across both Key Stages up to Year 3. This phonics scheme provides a systematic approach to literacy, both reading and writing, which is fun and engaging. This is supplemented with the use of phonetically decodable books from Oxford Reading Tree and the Phonic Bug schemes, along with a range of other texts. Further details on how you can support your child can be found on the Read Write Inc. website.
In addition to the above programme, we also use the Big Write and Big Maths schemes and Little Big Maths in Foundation Stage.

Year 2 Learning Narrative – Summer Term 2019

After Easter the children will be immersed into the wonderful world of Roald Dahl where they will meet mind boggling, fizz popping characters and stories. This magical exciting topic will enthuse the children with creativity across their learning in all aspects on the curriculum. They are going to design a scrumdiddlyumptious chocolate bar and write a persuasive letter to Willy Wonka imploring him to choose their design as his next creation! There may even be the arrival of a golden ticket…
