Yellow Class 2019 - 2020
Mrs Swallow
Yellow Class Teacher
Dear Parents,
Welcome to 2020. I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and you were all well!
This term our topic is Castles, Knights and Dragons. See our topic overview for more details.
Important dates for your diary:
- Monday 9th March 4 – 4:30 (ish) Yellow Class meeting (Beeston and SATs) I am combining the two so you don’t have to come in twice. If possible, it would be better if children did not attend this meeting due to the SATs content.
- Friday 14th February – Medieval Banquet – more information will be given nearer to the time
- Thursday 26th – Friday 27th March Beeston residential
Reading - We will continue with our reward system for reading. If the children read 5 times in a week they will get a sticker on a special bookmark, once the bookmark is full they will be able to choose something from our prize box. I gave out so many stickers last term, so I know the children will continue to read lots. Keep up with the reading challenge as this ensures the children are reading a variety of texts. Children will continue to read individually in school as well as having two guided reading sessions per week.
Spellings –Children will be given weekly spellings to learn. These will be given out on a Friday. The children will be quizzed on them the following week. Please ensure that spelling books are in school every Friday.
Homework –Please return books on a Thursday so that homework can be checked and new sheets (where needed) can be stuck in to be returned to you on a Friday.
PE and outdoor learning - PE will be on a Tuesday. Please bring PE kits into school on the first day back if possible. Again, like last year I will send out texts or emails if we are doing outdoor learning, but please keep waterproofs and wellies are in school. Please name everything! Monday 6th January children will have outdoor learning.
Helpers – We need you! Your support, as always is extremely appreciated. We have so many wonderful helpers in yellow class, but if you would like to help out and don’t do already please let me know. Thank you.
Our mindset this term…’ They believed they could, so they did. Make today amazing!’ J
Kind regards,
Debbie Swallow and Team Yellow
