Learning
Challenge
Each half term we will be setting
our pupils a challenge related to their learning, this is in line with the rest
of the school. We believe
that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their
children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will
include either a nursery rhyme, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk
to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning.
The children can choose how they present their learning
challenge outcomes to their teacher or class however the table below details
some ideas for the learning challenge.
The learning challenge replaces traditional ‘homework’ and runs
alongside daily reading with your child. Is it expected that you read with your
child every day.
This term our topic is ‘Amazing animals/Julia Donaldson’ therefore the learning
challenges are as follows…
Poem/Song to learn: 5 little ducks went swimming one day
5 little
ducks went swimming one day, over the hills and far away
Mummy duck
said, quack quack quack quack,
And only 4
little ducks came back.
