Our teachers are Mrs. James and Mrs. Law. We are supported by Mrs. Pollard and Mrs. Bennetts.
We believe that working cooperatively with others is the key to learning. We always aim high but also know that making mistakes is sometimes the best way to move forward. Our class environment is one that promotes fun, kindness and team spirit and we like nothing more than a challenge.

Homework
Reading - Children should read at home for at least 25 minutes daily (building up to 30 minutes towards the end of the year). Children on AR will be able to quiz and change their books at least 3 times per week.
Spelling - your child should log into Emile at least twice a week. Activities set by teachers can be found under Tasks and support the spelling learning taking place in class. Every fourth week, children complete Spelling Battles, a fun challenge that helps them apply and consolidate the spelling patterns they have learnt.
Number fluency - Numbots and TTRockstars are part of our home learning and we ask that children log in at home and play for 10 minutes at least three or four times a week.
Weekly Maths/SPAG - Homework will be given out on a Friday, to then be handed in the following Friday.
Wider curriculum - each half term there are also a choice of additional home learning opportunities for children to engage with, as outlined in our 'Leap into Learning' document.
