Welcome to Seacole Class

Our Teachers are Mrs Grier (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and Mrs Lowdon (Thursday and Friday). Seacole’s Learning Support Assistant is Mrs Agius.  

We have a fun packed curriculum for the spring term. We will start with a History unit all about a significant historical local – Samuel Cody. In Geography, we will be learning about Cove Brook River. We will meet some dedicated volunteers who are experts about the river.

Class reading time is a very important part of our day. This term we will explore stories and poems from Michael Rosen. We will read and enjoy other stories daily as a class. We encourage children to recommend texts, so please bring in your favourite books.

Take a look at our spring curriculum web to see our full curriculum coverage in all subject areas.

Please ensure zippy wallets come into school with the children every day.

Monday – Spelling test and book changing day (reading practice book and reading for pleasure book)

Wednesday – Outdoor games day. Children must come to school dressed in their kits. If the weather is cold please send in school jumper or cardigan to wear and tracksuit bottoms rather than shorts.

Wednesday – Spellings set and homework set on Google Classrooms 

Timetable and a normal day in our class

Here is a timetable of a day in Seacole class. Please note that occasionally this will be different. 

Please be aware that an adult will be reading with your child three times a week. Please make sure your child has their reading book in school everyday. 

We follow God Matters in Religious Education (the Portsmouth Diocese scheme of learning). The children learn two hours and 15 minutes of RE per week in KS1 and are involved in Collective Worship. 

Things that help us learn

We have established the use of Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 1. We follow Little Wandle as our phonics programme.

A reading book (Big Cat for Little Wandle) is sent home on a weekly basis which will be pitched at your child’s current phonic ability and at a level they can decode and comprehend at a 95% accuracy. They will also take home a reading for pleasure book, which they will select from the school library. Weekly spellings are sent home every Wednesday to consolidate the phonetic sounds the children have been learning that week.  We have an informal spelling test every Monday.
