Class 4 - Mr Darley
Welcome!
|
Welcome back following the Christmas break! I hope that you all had a fantastic time. I really appreciate all of the lovely cards, gifts and well wishes.
This is a again a term that offers lots of exciting opportunities. I will endeavour to keep you all informed of activities taking place in school via the website and ParentMail.
We'll be starting the year by looking at lots of new ideas including, but not limited to:
DT - Developing recipes
Geography - Understanding why the oceans are so important
Computing - What the Mars rovers are doing and how they send data back to earth
Science - What is in our solar system and how is it structured?
I can't wait for a wonderful and exciting spring term with everyone!
Homework
Children are expect to read independently at least three times a week. In the coming weeks, I will start issuing spelling activities on Spelling Shed for children to complete and we will be practicing spelling in class too. Children will also be expected to continue practicing their times tables on Times Tables Rockstars.
In addition to this I will be issuing projects for children to complete at home that will relate to the learning that we are covering in schools - look out for a sheet in the coming weeks.
PE
Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursdays. Please ensure that your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on these days. PE kit should include plain black (or dark blue) tracksuit bottoms, a white t-shirt, a sweatshirt, trainers and plimsoles (in case we have indoor PE).

We've been having a blast at forest school - check out these recent photographs!
Learning in our lessons has been really hands on and interactive!
We've taste tested in DT, had fun with gymnastics in PE, learnt how to read binary code in computing and understood how our solar system functions in science.
