First of all, I cannot believe how well the children have settled into their new class at Keir Hardie. Everyone looks so smart in their school uniform and are adjusting to the school rules and routines very quickly. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me at the school, via our class Teams page or through my email address nlclarkc1@northlan.org.uk . I am looking forward to working alongside you this year as your child\u2019s teacher. Ms Clark<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Homework<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nHomework will be issued through Teams and maths homework will be<br \/>\nset on Sumdog as we are trying to be more sustainable as a school. All login<br \/>\ndetails will be issued to the children. However, please let me know if you<br \/>\ncannot access Teams or Sumdog and paper packs will be issued. Homework<br \/>\nwill be posted on a Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Our Topic<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOur topic for this term is \u2018The Rainforest\u2019 where we will learn the location of the Rainforests within the world by exploring maps. We will be exploring and comparing the climate of the Rainforest and that of Scotland. We will research the different types of animals and plants that live in the Rainforest. As the topic progresses, we will also look at deforestation and the affects that it will have on the world. I\u2019m sure the children will be very excited to share their learning with you.<br \/>\nMrs Hobbs will be in the class with the children on a Tuesday afternoon and will be covering Health and Wellbeing, Science and P.E. Our P.E days will be a Monday and Tuesday this year. Miss Mitchell and Mrs Reid will also be in class supporting pupils with their learning.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Literacy and Numeracy<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis year, we will continue to learn new common words and phonemes. Please<br \/>\nencourage your child to read at home for enjoyment and continue to listen to your child read. Their reading book will be sent home with them as part of their homework. We will be looking at both fiction and nonfiction.<\/p>\n<p>This term in maths we will be focusing on number processes and place value. We will also be looking at estimating and rounding. We will continue to investigate various mental maths strategies through our daily chilli challenges.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Children\u2019s Belongings<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nTo link with our school rules of \u2018Ready, Respectful and Safe\u2019 We are trying very<br \/>\nhard to train the children to take responsibility for their belongings as we<br \/>\nknow these do not come cheap. Can you please ensure names are on all of your child\u2019s clothing, gym kit and shoes, packed lunches, school bags etc (the list is endless!) If a toy \/ item is very precious to your child then<br \/>\nplease encourage them to leave this at home.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI try as often as I can to upload some snapshots of our learning to Twitter. We would love for you to follow us.<\/p>\n<p>@KeirHardieMem<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome Hello everyone!
