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: Electricity
Design Technology:
Computing: Computer systems and networks: collaborative learning
Music: Specialist Music Teacher (Recorders 2)
PSHE (Jigsaw): Relationships
MFL: Los Animales (Animals)
RE: How do festivals and worship show what matters to a Muslim?
Geography: Rivers
Art and Design: Drawing city skylines - Stephen Wiltshire
In English, we are looking at book reviews.
In maths, we are looking at time.
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

Week beginning: Monday 1st June
YEAR 4 MULTIPLICATION CHECK DFE TEST Please encourage your child to consolidate their multiplication tables using TTRS over half term. After half term children are invited to bring in their costumes for the production (suggestions are posted below).
The residential photographs are now all uploaded to the Website Gallery Page: 'Puffins Visit Porthpean Outdoor Adventure Centre'.
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 Sissons at the start or the end of the day.
