Yellow Class 2020 - 2021
Mrs Swallow
Yellow Class Teacher
Dear all,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year. Most importantly I hope that you and your families are safe and well.
This term our topic is ‘Bright Lights, Big City’. We will be learning about the City of London, The Great Fire of London and the Great Fire of Nantwich. Our first week of learning is based on the artist Paul Klee. We will be reading about him, writing about and creating our own art work inspired his ‘Cityscape.’ In maths we will be working on multiplication and division.
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. As diaries, reading books and book bags will not be taken to and from school for the next two weeks to try to minimise risk; it will be the children’s responsibility to move themselves up on the reading stars, if they have read at home (they made need a prompt as you drop them off in the morning!) Please read anything you have at home or utilise resources from https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/. In school the children will read everyday in whole class reading and once a week in guided reading.
Spellings –Children will be given weekly spellings to learn via TEAMS on a Friday. We will then check these spellings in school the following Friday. Spelling shed will also be updated every week.
Homework –Homework will be set via TEAMs – log ins are in the children’s reading diaries if you need support setting up TEAMs there are some really useful guides on our website.
PE and outdoor learning - PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Please can children come in PE kits on these days. Like last term if we have outdoor learning I will let you know via text/email.
If there is anything more I can do to support you, or if you have any questions please email me.
Kindest regards,
Debbie Swallow and Yellow Team
