Seahorses Class

Hello and welcome to the Seahorses homepage!

Our class teacher is Mrs Wood and the wonderful teaching assistant is Mrs Jones.

In Seahorses, independence and understanding go hand in hand – we embrace mistakes and really begin to learn from them as “the expert in anything was once a beginner”. The children are encouraged to find themselves, their creativity and their love for learning.

The aim of our page is to give you an insight into what we are learning about in class each theme along with suggestions of how you can support your child at home. You will be able to access information regarding; weekly homework and topics we are studying in class at the moment.

I hope you find this information useful, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask a member of the Seahorses team or email Mrs Wood at [email protected]

Autumn Term 2025's Focus

This term, our focus in Geography is about understanding where in the world we are! We will be exploring our local area of Trench through fieldwork and use maps to understand our relation to Telford and Wrekin and the United Kingdom. We will also learn the four cardinal directions of North, East, South and West and begin to understand how to identify human and physical features in our environment to support us in constructing a map with simple geographical symbols.

This term in Science we are investigating materials and their properties. We will observe, record and measure data to understand how their properties determine their uses and begin to use scientific terms to describe every day materials around us. We will then use this knowledge in our following term to support us in textiles during D&T!

Value of the Season

Our Value of the Season is  * Responsible *  

The children will be learning about what that word means and the importance that this value holds both in school and community life. Children will be able to earn tokens and work towards becoming the Values Champion for the class and accept an award from Mrs Abdulla in assembly.

This Week's Homework

Homework will be sent out on a Friday and needs to be returned by the following Wednesday. Homework will always consist of:

Fridge Words - These are words children have learnt or are going to learn in school and need to be practiced in different ways to embed their understanding of the word.

Common exception words - This is to give the children the opportunity to learn to sight read and possibly practice writing some common exception words for their stage over time to improve with words they are likely to be consistently reading and writing.

Reading - This is a small comprehension text to expose children to questions they will come across when they are reading a familiar or unfamiliar text and build up their comprehensive skills, rather than solely building fluency.

Maths - Our maths is based on building addition and subtraction fluency for rapid recall to support the children throughout the year and following years. The children's log in can be found in the front of their reading records and the website can be accessed via the link: Numbots

Useful Information

Reading books and records must be bought into school each day.

Children are expected to read at home – this can be with a more experienced reader that can support them when they need it. Any books or reading that they have done can be added to their reading record, not just the ones from school.

Our PE session is on a Thursday afternoon in the last lesson – so children will return home in their PE kit from school on that day.
