Welcome to Delapre Class

In Delapre, the children will be stepping back in time into a Victorian classroom. They will learn how schools have changed, before learning about the reign of Queen Victoria and the people and events that shaped how we live today. Inspired by the artist representations of Queen Victoria, the children will also look at portraits and develop their skills to create their own portrait gallery. In Science, we will be looking at animals, including humans. Looking more closely at life cycles and the human body. 

After half term, they will look at the work of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, designing and building our own bridges to carry our train safely across. They will end the term by celebrating Christmas in Victorian style, recognising how many of the traditions we follow today were begun in this period.

English

This term the children will be reading these books at school this term and you might like to read them at home with your child:

Phonics

At our school we follow the Little Wandle phonics scheme of work.  All of our individual reading books for Delapre Class are phonically aligned with this scheme.  We would ask that parents hear their child read every evening and record this in their child's planner. 

Maths

We follow the White Rose Hub maths scheme of work at our school which you can see if you click on the link below:
