Curriculum Information
Our curriculum this term is focussed around the theme 'Awe & Wonder' - you will find the curriculum overview for this half term below. This is a whole school document, so please only focus on your child/ren's year group. We will use familiar curriculum type sessions such as phonics, reading, writing and maths so that all children are aware of the routines and expectations of school. There will be times for exploration, indoors and outdoors, so that the children can lead some of their own learning and be curious about the world around them.
Each week will have core sessions based around maths and English, which will usually be carried out in the morning sessions. Then, in the afternoons, each week will be focused on a specific foundation subject to enable the children to fully immerse themselves in what is being taught.
We believe that the way we have developed our curriculum fits well with our own ambition and motto where we want all children to be curious, be resilient and be compassionate.
The full details of our Curriculum can be found on our website at http://www.capenhurstcep.cheshire.sch.uk/page/curriculum-information/7481
Reading
It is really important that children are able to read regularly and continue to read books at school and home and is a key factor in our curriculum.
Our younger children need to apply their phonic skills to reading books to enable them to improve their reading. Furthermore, reading is essential for wider curriculum success. Developing a love of reading and supporting the habit of reading is key, both to lifelong learning and ultimately for children’s life outcomes.
- All reading books to be kept in phonic phase baskets in KS1 and moving through to banded baskets in KS2
- Reading books will be changed once a week
- Older children should record their reads at home in their reading record. Staff will monitor the frequency of reads at home
- Parents of all children should record comments, as appropriate, in their child's reading record
- Children in all four classes will enjoy daily story time
Homework
Children across school have been allocated a Google Classrooms log in. Any new children arriving at school will be allocated one as soon as possible after their start date.
Homework will be scheduled on Google Classrooms each half term and will consist of some English, Maths and work based around our value for the half term.
P.E.
P.E. will take place on Mondays and Fridays. On these days, children are to arrive in school wearing their P.E. kit.
If you have any queries regarding the above, please do not hesitate to ask. We look forward to working closely with you again this term.
