Hello, my name is Mrs Sissons and I am the Puffin class teacher!
Our teaching assistants are Mrs McDowell and Mrs Harris.
This half term we plan to be exploring the following elements and subjects:
Science: Habitats
Art and Design: Painting patterns (William Morris)
D.T.: Food
R.E.: What is it like for someone to follow God?
P.E.: Forest School & Gymnastics
Computing: Computing systems and networks: Networks and the internet
Music: Specialist instrument lessons
PSHE (Jigsaw): Celebrating difference
MFL: Aprendo Español (I am learning Spanish/consolidating key vocabulary) / Year 4 - La fecha (The date)
Geography: UK: human and physical geography
History: Anglo Saxons
In English, we are looking at recounts and online news.
In maths, we are looking at addition and subtraction.
At home, children can benefit greatly from the following activities to support their learning in school:
- learning multiplication tables and the corresponding division facts [each child has a multiplication/division table that they are focusing on]. Children have access to TTRS. Most days we plan for them to have a short 5 to 10 minute session on this in school. If they can mirror this at home, they will develop speedy and secure tables knowledge to help them confidently learn new maths topics.
- reading to and with an adult. Again we plan for the children to have a reading for pleasure daily session in school but the children need to also be reading at home as much as possible.
- practising spellings [weekly spellings to learn are sent out regularly]. Additionally, each child has a grid of list 1, 2 or 3 words (often referred to as challenge words) in the front of their spelling list book. Please note that sometimes these challenge words will be the weekly spellings set to learn. These challenge/list words need to be learnt, revisited and applied in writing throughout their time in Puffins.
If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Mrs Ann-Marie Sissons

Please read to or listen to your child reading at home as often as you can. It will really help their learning. There are suggestions of ways to help on the Curriculum - English - Website pages. Reading books and records need to be in school every day.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to Mrs Harris (teaching assistant) at the start of the day or Mrs Sissons at the the end of the day.
