Cassatt-Year R

Welcome to Cassatt - Year R!

In Cassatt class: 

we are a team, 

we respect each other 

and we take risks.

Welcome to Cassatt class page.  

The Cassatt team is made up of Mrs Watson (Monday to Wednesday), Mrs Jary (Wednesday to Friday) and Mrs Henderson.  

The children have had a great start to the school year.  We have started our first line of enquiry – I wonder what is special about me.  The children have enjoyed telling us all about themselves and their families.  We found out that there are a lot of things that are the same and different about us. 

We have also enjoyed learning about our school.  We have learnt about who Charles Kingsley is and we found out that our school is really old.  We looked at some old photos and tried to imagine what it was like that long ago. 

We have enjoyed making new friends and exploring our new environment.  We have been learning about our school value of RESPECT and thought about how we need to respect and look after our own environment.   

We have also begun another line of enquiry – I wonder all about celebrations.  We were lucky to be able to visit our local church St Mary’s. Reverend Lerys gave us a tour and we took part in a whole school worship about Harvest.  We also got to see Charles Kingsley’s grave and the tree that his daughter Rose planted. 

We will be continuing this line of enquiry next half term with Diwali, Bonfire Night and Remembrance Day. 

In the second half of Autumn term we are going to build on our previous lines of enquiry and continue to develop our new I wonder topic of I wonder how it feels.  We are going to be talking about our feelings and how we can manage these. 

We are also going to be looking at our I wonder topic of I wonder about our local environment where we will be exploring our seasons of Autumn and Winter and take a little trip to our local ancient woods. 

Stage One is short term Remote Education Support (RES) as most families who are awaiting Covid 19 test results are off for 1 to 2 days. 

We would expect that if your child is not symptomatic that work will be completed and uploaded to Tapestry. If your child is poorly, we would ask you to make the judgement as to what you feel they can or cannot do.
