Hello and Welcome to 4GS!
Mr G Sedgewick - Teacher
Mrs J Hodge - Teaching Assistant
Miss K Foster - Teaching Assistant
Here are the Topics that we will be covering during the course of this academic year:
- Term 1 - Antarctica
- Term 2 - Ancient Egypt
- Term 3 - Rule Britannia WWII
- Term 4 - Vikings
- Term 5 - Living World
- Term 6 - Zap!
Morning Routine
Children are welcome as soon as the classroom door is opened by a member of staff (at 8:30am) and they need to be in and settled into their learning by 8:35am.
Home Time Routine
We will stand at the classroom door and let them go when they see you in the playground. If you would like your child to begin their independence and walk home or meet you at the school gate, please let us know via Dojo or the school office so that we know that they are not expecting to meet someone in the playground.
Reading, Times Tables and Home Learning
Reading is such an important skill to learn and master, and one that is most enjoyable. Please try to read with your child regularly even if your child is a fluent reader and support him/her by asking questions to deepen their understanding of the texts. Times tables will need to be practised each day - the quicker that these facts are recalled, the easier it will be to solve tricky calculations as they move up towards Year 6. Home learning is given out on a sheet in red books at the start of each term.
PE
Children will need to bring in their PE kits at the start of each term as follows:
- White t-shirt (plain or small logo)
- Black shorts, jogging bottoms or leggings (plain or small logo)
- Black sweatshirt (plain or small logo - or school uniform sweatshirt/cardigan is fine)
- Trainers
- Long hair must be tied back
- No jewellery (earrings removed or covered with tape)
This is then kept in school and taken home and the end of each term.
Thank you very much for your continued support as we help your child strive to reach their potential. Please don't hesitate to contact me via ClassDojo if you have any queries.
Mr. Sedgwick
