PHONICS
We are using our sounds to spell CVC words, write labels, lists and captions.
R.E.
Our topic in RE is ‘What can we learn from the stories of Jesus?’. We will begin by thinking about our own favourite stories, moving on to where we can find stories of Jesus and then looking at some stories of Jesus and what they can teach us.
PSHE
At Boutcher School, we teach Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) and relationships as a whole-school approach to underpin children’s development as people and because we believe that this also supports their learning capacity. We use the Jigsaw Programme which offers us a comprehensive, carefully thought-through Scheme of Work which brings consistency and progression to our children’s learning in this vital curriculum area. This term the topic being covered across the school is Dreams and Goals. In this unit, children will think about their aspirations, how to achieve goals and develop their understanding of the emotions that go with this.
PE
At Boutcher, we follow the ‘Real PE’ approach. Real PE is a unique, child-centred approach that engages and challenges children in their PE lessons. It focuses on the development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning. Real PE focuses on six key cogs, these are: Creative, Cognitive, Health and Fitness, Personal, Physical and Social.
In the spring term, we will be working through the ‘cognitive’ cog in our weekly PE lessons.
Our PE day is: Wednesday
PE kit is as follows:
- plain white t-shirt or polo top
- navy blue jogging bottoms, leggings or shorts (no logos)
- school navy blue jumper or cardigan
- suitable trainers for PE
