Welcome to Elm Class Page

 

This term (Summer 2026), our learning project will be:

           'What can you tell from a portrait?'           

This term (Summer Term 2 2026), we will be looking at what Forest Row was like in the past. We will start by using photographs as evidence to compare Forest Row in the past, to what Forest Row is like now. We will then move to look at Forest Row Primary School, to identify how education and the setting has changed, before exploring the previous uses of the cycle track as both a train station and a fire station. Next, we will locate Forest Row village hall, looking at its uses and how old it is as this is a central feature of the village. Finally, we will explore the types of shops that are found in Forest Row, and how these have changed over time.

Home Learning

Please read with your child everyday from their Read Write Inc book and record the reading in their reading record.  The children on Read Write Inc have a bookmark for their book band with tricky words to also practise reading nightly.  Inside the reading record you will see that there are tasks to be completed to help develop your child's reading skills.  Those children children who have finished the Read Write Inc programme have a gold band reading book.   

There will be a maths and wrting task set for homework on a Friday, which will link to our work in class.  The task will be sent home in a home learning book and should be completed in the book. It should be returned to school by the following Thursday, ready for the next task.  

Each week the children will have some focus spelling words to learn taken from the Year 1 common exception word list.  The common exception words are everyday words that break the phonic rules taught in Read Write Inc. They will need to be learnt and remembered, so the children can use them in their independent writing.  If your child can already confidently spell the word, they should write it in a sentence.  Sentences must start with a capital letter but could end with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.  Spelling practise can be recorded in the home learning book.
