Yellow Class 2024 - 2025
Mrs Swallow
Yellow Class Teacher
Dear All,
Welcome back! I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter break.
I can not believe that we are entering our final term in Yellow Class, but what a term it is set out to be. Miss Butler and I are very excited to be taking the children on their first school residential. All the information you need is at the bottom of this webpage.
Our topic this term is Castles, Queens and Dragons. We begin with an indepth look into dragons using the book 'The Dragon Machine' as inspiration.
A few reminders:
Reading - We will read every day with the children as part of a whole class reading session. Reading is such a vital part of your child’s learning so please read at home with the children; ten minutes a day really does make all the difference. Please write in your child’s reading diary so we know that they have read. They can then move along our reading stars – one star for every time they read. If the children read 5 times in a week they will get a sticker in a special bookmark.
Spellings – Spelling rules and patterns are taught on a daily basis in Yellow Class. There is no weekly spelling quiz.
Homework – there is no set homework, however on the weekly email I will encourage children to take part in an online maths game.
PE and outdoor learning - PE will be on a Friday. Children will need to come to school in PE kits every Friday. We also have Forest School with Mr Hadfield on a Wednesday. Children will need to come to school in home clothes and bring with them a change of shoes and a coat/waterproof trousers/hat/suncream (depending on the weather) Please name everything!
Snacks – Please send snack in a SMALL container or just with your child’s name on. Remember we are a Nut Free school.
If you have any queries/ questions then please see me on the gate, email me or ring school and I will do my best to help dswallow@peartreeprimary.co.uk
Kind regards,
Debbie Swallow
