| Subject | Profiles | Ideas for home |
| Communication & Literacy | We will be exploring ‘Eric’ by Shaun Tan, which tells the story of a foreign exchange student staying with a family. Pupils will focus on character descriptions through a variety of different activities, enabling them to imitate aspects of the story that they find interesting, as well as innovate their own additions in their writing. | Ask your child to retell the story to you, they will have learnt the storyline by mid-September. Each week they will add in new ideas and vocabulary, so keep asking them, to see how the story grows! |
| Mathematics & Problem Solving | Pupils will be exploring place value to begin the year and will split into groups, to align with their current progress in this area. | Link mathematical operations to everyday aspects and areas at home to promote the link between school-based learning and real word scenarios. This could be weighing ingredients, exploring timetables, timing events, measuring items or dividing food up equally. |
| Preparing for Adult Life (PfAL) | Pupils discuss and learn about the importance of recognising and managing our emotions and thinking of others. We will also begin to think about managing our own money, becoming more independent with cooking and being safe online. | Discuss with your child what they have learnt or how they feel about each of these areas. If they have any questions feel free to let us know and we can explore them in school. |
| Expression and Creativity | Pupils will have the opportunity to choose and explore a range of Art, DT and creative options throughout the Autumn Term. This will involve pattern making, photography and designing products. | We are hoping to host an exhibition of what the pupils have created at the end of term. We will send out a date once we organise it. Hope to see you there! |
| Further Education | Pupils will visit East Coast College, City College and Paston during the Autumn Term in order to see what student life would be like. | Have a look at the College’s website and feel free to send in any questions about moving on. |
| PE | Pupils will explore striking and fielding games. This will include cricket, rounders. We will be looking at all aspects of the sports in bowling, fielding and catching | Aim to spend time outside exercising with the (hopefully!) warm weather. |
| TITAN | Pupils will attend regular walking trips in order to practise their road safety skills. This will be within Sheringham and aims to improve knowledge and confidence in becoming more independent in their personal safety. | Explore road signs when you are out and about together. What do they mean? If you do not know, use the internet to find out. |
