The Orchard - Blossom
Welcome to Blossom Class.
Our class teachers are Mrs Mills and Miss Jafrato, who are supported by
This year, Blossom Class will learn about Ourselves, Celebrations & Festivals, Transport, Traditional Tales, Growing & Habitats.
Our life skills programme consists of some kind of cooking, an active activity such as yoga and something arty, all part of the ever popular Mash Friday. The children regularly head across the Green to the local corner shop to buy some of the products for this. Sensory circuits, sensory and attention activities, Lego Therapy and social interaction are all a daily part of learning.
Physical Education (PE)
Our PE day is every Day and Another Day.
Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit, which consists of a plain t-shirt, plain joggers/shorts and a plain jumper. Trainers are also allowed. Your child will stay in their PE kit for the whole day.
Homework
Homework will be set every Monday, and will consist of a My Mathletics task and phonics on Phonics Play or a, set of spelling words (written and completed on Spelling Shed). There is no pressure to complete this homework at home though.
Reading and Reading Records
We expect your child to read every day. Your child's reading record must be brought in every day to be signed. Reading is such an important part of your child's development so please prioritise this task.
Our Class Rewards
We have many rewards in Blossom Class, which consist of:
Class dojo points, raffle tickets every Friday, certificates every Friday and stickers.
To earn a raffle ticket, your child will move their name onto the reward image for showing us a behaviour or knowledge which is above our usual expectations.
