In Science we are looking at the respiratory system.  Please find below a video from CBBC to introduce the respiratory system. There is also a sheet of ideas to develop breathing skills through blowing activities, these can have a therapeutic effect on speech and feeding development.  

Our Maths work this term is on measure.  In the first half term we are looking at height and length.  Activities which can be tried at home include measuring common items around the house.  You don't need to use a ruler, you can measure in Lego bricks, tins, the only criteria is that the measure needs to be the same size.  You could also measure members of the household.  

We love to read in Corfe class.  We use the website https://www.getepic.com/ to find books.  For example Diary of a Wimpy Kid is available to read online for free.  

Another wonderful reading site is Storyline Online https://storylineonline.net/ where favourite stories are read aloud by some famous faces. 

Welcome to Corfe's home page for the academic year, 2023 - 24. 

On this page you will find information about our team, work and curriculum.  

There are also activities which you can enjoy doing together at home, enrichment activities which will show that learning can happen everywhere. 

Best wishes

This term, Corfe class are taking a journey through space and time with our class text, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine l'Engle.

Please see our Curriculum overview below for details of our studies and some ideas for hoem learning.   

Create a planet. 

In A Wrinkle in Time, the characters travel through space and visit different planets.  

Can you make a planet? You can draw it or make it from recycled materials. What colour is it, is it large or small, what does the surface feel like?  

Calibre Audio. 

Our students all have a membership to Calibre audio, Play Calibre Audiobooks, which is a library of audio books.  The books can be streamed directly from the website, via an app, we use Dolphin Easy Reader on our class iPads or requested via a memory stick.  There is a wide variety of children's books available, including our class text, The Boy at the Back of the Class.  

Spring Term 2023, Home and Away 

This term, we are focusing on a class text, The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Raúf to explore our theme of Home and Away.  This text has been chosen for its contemporary plotline, it is the story of refugee coming to a new country, and also one that allows us to explore different cultures and experiences.   

Corfe Class Spring Timetable 2023. 

Please find an updated timetable for Spring 2022.  

November 28th 2022

Please find attached a number of activities to share with your child at home.  I will add the full symbol instructions on Tuesday morning.  At the heart of our curriculum is communication, reading and community, so reading a book with your child or exploring your local area would be wonderful ways to continue our ethos at home.  In the morning I will add a video to Dojo to welcome students to the day and as a means of keeping in contact with you all.
