Welcome to Rhinos Class!

We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning together.

Class Teacher: Miss Heathcote
Teaching Assistant: Miss Pleace

This autumn, we have an exciting term ahead! In English, we will be reading The Loch Ness Monster by Lauri Don. Using this inspiring story, the children will write their own exciting adventure narratives and newspaper reports about the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

In Maths, we will begin the year by developing our understanding of place value before moving on to addition and subtraction, building confidence with number and calculation.

Our Science topic explores the digestive system and teeth, where we will investigate how our bodies process food and discover the important role our teeth play in keeping us healthy.

In History, we will travel back in time to Ancient Greece, learning about this fascinating civilisation through exciting hands-on experiences, including an Ancient Greek archaeological dig and our very own Ancient Greek Day.

We can't wait to share all of our learning and achievements with you throughout the term. Here's to a fantastic start to the year in Rhinos Class!

Please ensure your child has the correct kit (red Woodlea t-shirt, plain black shorts and pumps). Outdoor kit is also encouraged (black tracksuit top, black tracksuit bottoms and trainers). PE kits will be kept in school until half term.

Updates, letters and work will be shared via your child's SeeSaw account. Details of how to access this can be found in the back of your child's reading record. We also have a class Twitter page, please follow us: @WoodleaRhinos

Homework will be set on a Friday to be completed by the following Friday. It will be set online, through SeeSaw. Homework Club will take place on a Wednesday after school until 4:15pm, where children will have the opportunity to access iPads and staff support. In addition, children must read at least 4 times per week and this should be a combination of books and Reading Plus. Books will go home on a Friday to be returned by the following Friday with reading records signed by an adult.
