Tiger Class 2024-2025

Welcome to the Tiger class page! Our class teacher is Miss Slater and our LSP is Mrs Rehman.

On this page you will find key information about our class.

We will be using Class Dojo this year to share some of the activities and photographs that we take part in. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask a member of staff. Alternatively, you can drop a message on Class Dojo and we will get back to you when possible.

Spring Topics

In Spring 1 our topic is 'Ticket to Ride', where we will be discussing transport, the local area and comparing the UK and other countries.

In Spring 2 our topic is 'Amazing Animals', where we will be learning all about different types of animals and comparing appearances, habitats and diets.

In our Jigsaw PSED lessons, we will focus on 'Dreams and Goals' during Spring 1 and 'Healthy Me' during Spring 2. 

During PE in Spring 1, the children will focus on balancing, jumping and climbing from different pieces of equipment. During Spring 2, the children will be climbing more confidently on larger apparatus and developing strength and co-ordination.

Important Information

Uniform

The children in Tiger Class look so smart in their school uniform! 

We know how expensive they can be, so we kindly ask you to label all of your child's uniform to eliminate the risk of any items being lost.

Children can also bring in a named water bottle for use throughout the day. 

P.E

Children in Reception have P.E. every Friday.

Please bring the appropriate P.E kit into school in their school P.E. bag.  This will stay in school and be sent home half termly to be washed. The children should wear a plain white/blue t-shirt, black jogging bottoms or leggings or black shorts in appropriate weather and black P.E pumps or plain black trainers.

Homework

Children will be sent home with a writing book and name card to practise forming their names correctly. These do not need to be handed in, your child can keep them at home or in their book bags.

We will also send out our weekly Nursery Rhyme that we have learnt during Rhyme Time. We ask that you practise singing this song at home with your child. 

Homework Menu

In addition to this, a homework menu will be sent out each half term with a variety of learning activities for your child to choose from.  The activities aim to compliment and consolidate learning that has taken place across the half term. 

To showcase this, we would love for you as parents/carers to send us images or videos of the children's learning. The 'EvidenceMe' app on your mobile phone is the place for this. Simply take a photo or video and upload this to the app with a comment about your child's learning.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask the Reception staff.

Thank you for your support with this.

Reading at Home:

Your child will be sent home with a book and reading record.  Children will begin with picture books and progress towards books with words, which match their phonics teaching and learning. Please share these books with your children at home as often as you can.  You can comment on the book and ask your children questions about what is happening or what might happen next.  Please record any comments in your child's reading record.

Remember! The more your child reads at home, the closer they will be to achieving their bronze, silver or gold reading awards and will be displayed on our trophy wall in class!

Bronze - 45 reads (45 comments in your child's reading record)

Silver - 90 reads (45 additional comments in your child's reading record)

Gold - 135 reads (45 additional comments in your child's reading record)

Remember! You can also achieve more read to succeed points when you read the books allocated to you on Bug Club!
