Class 4 2021 - 2022
Welcome to Class 4
Teacher: Mrs Fairman
Our Learning
The Way, The Truth and The Life
Our R.E topic for this half term is The Bible.
The children will learn that the Bible is a story of God’s love and concern for us. They will learn that the Bible is a living book through which God speaks to us and tells us about himself. They will learn that the Bible is one story told through many different viewpoints and scriptures.
“The Scriptures are the living Word of God, written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit received and faithfully handed on within the living Tradition and teaching of the Church.”
Topic
Our topic for the Autumn Term is called 'The Greatest Show'. With a geographical focus, the children will begin by looking at where gorillas live and explore the country of Africa including the environmental regions around the world – linked to natural environment of gorillas and other apes. There will also be a study of topographical features from around the world.
Reading
Daily reading is a key priority in primary school and we actively encourage children to read as much as possible at home to help further develop their fluency and comprehension skills. Every child will be able to bring home a reading book from school. These can be changed regularly in school. Every child is encouraged to have a 'Reading for Pleasure' book. Our current class novel is 'The Boy Who Grew Dragons' which we are throroughly enjoying reading.
PE
Our P.E. day is usually a Tuesday and children should come to school in their kit. All kit must be clearly labelled, and appropriate footwear must be worn. Jewellery, including earrings, must not be worn during P.E. days. School hoodies and jogging bottoms can be purchased online with school uniform.
Homework
Homework will be set on Google Classroom. Work will be set on a Thursday and should be submitted by the following Monday. Weekly spellings are also sent via Google Classroom every Monday to be tested the following Monday.
Useful websites to support home learning:
We encourage all pupils to access these websites on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis.
Communication
I am always happy to discuss any worries, concerns or general queries you may have. Please feel free to send an email or make an appointment through the school office.
