On Tuesday afternoons we have a PE session with Mr Robinson and French or Music with Miss Barnes.
We have daily Maths lessons, using the White Rose, mastery-based, scheme of learning. This means that we are having fun as we solve mathematical problems and explain our thinking. We are becoming more fluent and confident mathematicians, willing to apply our knowledge and skills to problem solving situations.
In our Reading lessons, quality texts are used to teach a variety of reading skills and to develop our vocabulary. A wide range of authors and text types are used to develop a love of reading in the class. We regularly listen to our class story and independent reading also takes place on a daily basis.
Writing is often based around a quality text, which is topic related, and a wide range of writing styles are taught. We learn to plan, draft, revise, edit and present our work, before evaluating the success of our writing. Mrs Berber is the English lead for the school.
It is very important to us that we keep up excellent communication with parents and we use ClassDojo to send messages and pictures home to parents, sharing amazing work and proud moments from school. This also allows parents to contact the class teacher directly with any questions they may have and also share their proud moments from home.
We are working hard throughout the year to prepare for secondary school and life beyond.
