Class information
Homework
Homework is given out every Monday and is expected to be returned on or before the following Monday. Your child will receive one piece of maths homework as well as one piece of SPAG homework that will relate to what they have been learning that week in class.
Spellings
As well as receiving homework on a Monday your child will also get spellings to learn which will be tested the following Friday. Please make sure your child learns their spellings each week. Every 3 weeks we will do a consolidation test on the past forty five spellings your child has learnt.
PE
Our PE day for this half term is Friday. As we will be doing Dance first thing, please make sure that your child comes to school wearing their full PE kit (and tracksuit in colder weather) with their school pumps in a bag (if child is wearing trainers to school).
Learning logs
Every two weeks, the children will receive a learning log which they will have two weeks to complete. Children are expected to complete two A4 pages in their learning logs and are encouraged to be as creative as possible. Good examples of learning logs will be posted on the class twitter page every few weeks. Learning logs will be peer assessed on the day that they are due in.
