Philosophers 2022-23

 

Welcome to our class page!

 

Miss Briggs is our Class Teacher.

Mrs Davey and Mrs Russell are our class teaching assistants and will be supporting us throughout day. 

 

We are excited for the year ahead and can't wait to create lots more school memories.

If you ever have any questions, please come in and speak to me.

 

Key Information:

Please ensure your child brings in a water bottle and their reading book/record every day.

It would be helpful if you can also ensure that their belongings are labelled - it makes it easier to return when left around school!

 

PE and Swimming:

 

For Spring 1 - PE will be on Friday (Normal PE clothing) and Wednesdays (swimming - wear costume underneath PE kit).

Both Year 3 and Year 4 children go swimming with Miss Briggs (dates below, they will have PE lessons on the other weeks). Children will need their swimming kits on these days.

 

We will be swimming on the following dates (Wednesdays):

 

For normal PE lessons, Children will need to come in their PE kit.  

This should be:

  • plain white t-shirt
  • black shorts/ joggers
  • plimsoles/trainers

Please ensure a bobble is provided to tie back long hair and your child is able to remove their own ear-rings (or has tape to cover).

 

For Forest Schools, children will need to wear appropriate outdoor clothing that you don't mind getting dirty or wet. Children will need a change of shoes (boots, wellies) that they can change into for this session. 

 

Homework:

Homework will be set on a Friday and needs to be submitted by the following Friday morning. Homework will be set on Seesaw each week.

The homework each week will be as follows:

  • A spelling activity on Seesaw
  • Times Table Rock Stars
  • Reading every day for at least 5 minutes and recorded in Homework Diaries (these are checked on a Friday too)

 

All of your child's logins are inside of their Homework Diary

 

Please see the 'Homework Help' section below for more information on homework. 

Any incomplete work will need to be completed by children during break/lunch. If they need a little extra help, please let me know and we will find a suitable time to go through it.
