Seahorses Class

Hello and welcome to the Seahorses homepage!

Our class teacher is Mrs Wood and our lovely teaching assistant is Miss Pritchard.

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]

Summer 2 Term 2026's Focus

This term, our focus in Geography is to learn all about the continents, seas and oceans and answer the big question:
Where in the world would you live: North America or South America?

We will begin by understanding that there are 7 continents in the world and 5 oceans. We will then be learning all about Brazil and Alaska and the continents they are in. We will compare these locations with our home in the UK, looking at the climates, the surrounding oceans and the human and physical features in the environments. We will also begin to learn about their location to the equator, the North Pole and the South Pole and what this means for each place.

This term in Science we are going to be looking closely at seasons, after observing and discussing these throughout the year, we will begin to research why these changes happen, establish what kind of climate we live in and what happens to the world around us regarding these seasonal changes.

In D&T, we are looking at how vehicles working by exploring the mechanisms they use, such as wheels and axels.

In Music, we will be looking back at our performances of the year and the instruments we have used to reflect, rewind and replay. We will be deciding the genres we preferred, what we did well and how we can improve next time.

In Computing, we are learning about Information Technology around the world and how it helps us. We will also continue to explore how to safely use technology when we are at home and outside of school.

Value of the Season

Our Value of the Season is  * Tolerance *  

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 sessions are on a Monday and a Thursday afternoon in the last lesson – so children will return home in their PE kit from school on that day.
