To find out more about your child's learning for this term please look at the links below. You will find an overview document which gives you information about all the areas of learning. In addition, you will find vocabulary sheets that show the key words your child will be learning this term. Talking about these words at home can help your child remember them and understand them more deeply.

For example, if your child is learning the word safety, you could:

• Talk about what safety means and why it is important.
• Look for examples of safety in everyday life, such as wearing a seatbelt, crossing the road safely or using equipment carefully.
• Ask questions such as, "Why do we wear a helmet when riding a bike?" or "What can we do to keep ourselves safe at home and at school?"
• Encourage your child to explain their ideas using the word safety.
• Revisit the word in different situations so your child hears and uses it regularly.

If you are a bilingual or multilingual family, talking about new vocabulary in all of your child's languages can be especially helpful. Using and discussing words in different languages helps children make connections and develop a deeper understanding of new vocabulary.

Teachers can be contacted via Class Dojo if you have any questions or queries.
