🍂 Autumn Term 2025 – Badger Class

The Badgers are back, full of enthusiasm and ready for a fantastic new term!
We’ve got lots of exciting lessons and fascinating topics lined up, and we can’t wait to get started.

If you’d like to see an overview of what we’ll be covering this year, please take a look at our Long Term Plan – Cycle B linked below.

📸 Seesaw

All parents have now been linked to our class Seesaw page via email.
Seesaw is where we share snapshots of the children’s learning, including their Discovery Time choices and the three weekly challenges they complete. Please do take a look at your child’s folder or our class journal to see the wonderful things happening in Badger Class!

🏡 Homework

Homework in Badger Class is simple but important:

Reading at least three times a week with an adult.

📚 Reading & Phonics

We are passionate about encouraging a love of reading!

Our class bookcase has had a makeover, and the children are especially excited for storytime at the end of each day.
We are following the Little Wandle phonics programme. This means the children will read three times a week in school with an adult, using books that are both accessible and challenging.
To help reinforce their progress, books will also be sent home via CollinsHub every Wednesday, to be read three times a week at home.

📝 General Information

Please ensure all belongings are named to help us avoid lost property.
Lockers are very popular and have been brilliant for keeping our corridors tidy and safe. If your child brings a backpack, please make sure it’s a sensible size, as it needs to fit coats, lunch boxes, book bags, and winter extras.
PE is every Tuesday, and sessions will be outside whenever possible. Please make sure your child comes in their named PE kit, suitable for the weather.
