Jodrell 2025 - 2026

Jodrell Class

Our summer term topic is called 'Living Things'. We are all so excited to be learning about animals, naming animal, listening to their sounds, identifying different parts of the animals' bodies and we even get to learn all about dinosaurs and Mary Anning! 

English

Our stories this term will be linked to our learning and every two to three weeks we will be introduced to a new book linked to a new topic. We will learn through our senses using a total communication approach (symbols, signing and verbal language) and most importantly, we will have a lot of fun!

Our books this term are:

We will learn these books through exploration of language, identifying settings, answering blank levels questions and creating sentences using colourful semantics. 

We do 'Look and Listen' three times a week, learn a core word of the week and two phonics lessons a week, where we learn a new sound. 

Maths

This term in maths, we will be learning all about numbers up to 10 (and beyond if we understand this) as well as positional language, time and money. We will learn through songs, games, practical and written activities and as always, we will use a total communication approach.

Swimming

Our swimming takes place every Monday. Please ensure you have a full kit in school on Mondays (including swimming pads if necessary).

Community Visits 

Weather depending, we visit South Park every Friday afternoon.

Educational Visits 

This term, we are going to visit Reaseheath Zoo and Manchester Museum.

Please check Facebook for all of the pictures of our learning. This is usually updated at least twice a week.
