Children in Red and Green class watched a video clip about London streets in 1903 to help them understand life 100 years ago. As a group they have looked at modern day photographs of soldiers, medals, poppies and Flanders Fields. To encourage their questioning and understanding everyone made two different pictures of Flanders Fields. The 1915 picture involved using different shades of charcoal, creating a dark and eerie picture. The 2015 picture represented a green field with an array of brighlty coloured poppies.

Children in Rainbow, Red and Green class are taught skills to improve their use of computers, including playing different games. With parental permission children have safe access to games on the Internet which supports the knowledge and skill they are learning. We have listed some useful websites you may wish to visit with your child at home to further support their education. If you have some favourites not listed, please speak to a member of staff so we can add it to the list.

Literacy

If you make the time every day to do some of the following things with your child it will make a real difference to your child’s confidence as a young learner.

Rainbow class children are encouraged to share books at home, supporting their communication, language and personal and social development. Regular trips to the park and the local environment provoke conversation and interest.

The curriculum in the Foundation Stage ensures all our children build the skills, attitudes and dispositions which provide the foundations for positive life-long learning.
