Once again, we have named our classes based on inspirational people from around the world and throughout history. 

Hello and welcome to Picasso class. Helping the children with their learning this year is Miss Ward (Class Teacher). In addition, we also have help from our wonderful Teaching Assistant, Mrs Nail.

Our topics this year are:

• Autumn - South America and Ancient Maya
• Spring - Tropical Rainforests and Early Islamic Civilisation
• Summer - Earthquakes & Settlements and Local History

I love to build a relationship with all children and their families and enjoy having that link, so please feel free to contact me whenever you need to. I hold an open door policy, so please come and speak to me and I will try and help in any way we can.

You can also contact me on our class dojo page. 

I can't wait to have an amazing year with Picasso class! In the meantime, please explore the useful link pages.

P.E

Please note that we have PE on a Tuesday, so please remember to dress your child in their full PE kit on this day. Please ensure your child has their coloured PE top, PE hoodie, PE bottoms, hair tied up and jewellery removed on these days so that they are ready and safe to take part.

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Homework

For Year Three and Four, homework will consist of spellings to practice for a test on the following Friday. The spellings are linked to the Year 3 and 4 National Curriculum. In addition, the children will bring home a Times Table Trek sheet with a range of times tables to solve. Please support your children in practicing them at home to enable them to progress further. Children will also be given topic homework each week, where they will get a chance to explore other subjects in more depth. 

Please encourage your child to read for at least 10 minutes EVERY night. 

Reading

Children should bring in their reading records every day and are encouraged to read every night at home. Please do encourage your child to read at home, it'll only take 5 to 10 minutes and makes a tremendous difference to their confidence and attainment in class!  The reading book you receive will be in line with your child's reading ability.  The children are assessed regularly and book levels are set accordingly.  Please try and complete their reading record by signing it to acknowledge they have read at home and we can check these in school and gets books quizzed and changed. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Star of the week

Star of the Week will be awarded to a different child every Friday afternoon for being a superstar all week! It could be for their attitude to learning, behaviour or producing outstanding work (to name a few!).
