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]

Spring Term 2026's Focus

This term, our focus in History is all about the Great Fire of London! We will be exploring the timeline of events to improve our chronological understanding and explore why the devastating event occurred in the first place. We will be looking into sources, such as Samuel Pepys’ diary, as well as artefacts from the past, like the leather water bucket. We will discover how the weather had a role in the event and how the much the fire service has changed today.

This term in Science we are diving deeper into an investigation of 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 be completing a series of fair tests to improve our knowledge and understanding of the variables within a test, before setting up our own at the end of the half term!

Value of the Season

Our Value of the Season is  * Equality *  

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.
