Yellow Class 2024 - 2025
Mrs Swallow
Yellow Class Teacher
Dear All,
Welcome back! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
We begin our term with the book ‘We are Water Protectors.’ We will learn about the effects of water pollution and relate this to the River Thames in London. This will then lead us on to our main topic ‘Bright Lights, Big City.’ Where we will learn about The Great Fire of London and The Fire of Nantwich.
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 Wednesday. Children will need to come to school in PE kits every Wednesday. If we are doing outdoor learning – I will text/ email to let you know in advance. Waterproofs and wellies can be kept in school – they are useful to have in school so we can still get outside even on wet days. 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
